I think the pictures are better he

But interestingly, the final fly doesn't match the original picture! But,
thanks for the link.


The initial picture is for a variant called the 'leadbelly', one that I have
never seen, but the setup looks appealing. The series of pictures are for
the standard variation, which is basically a hare's ear thorax, tail and
abdomen with a PT wing case. I love tying them, as they come out looking
more satisfying (to me at least) than a PT, but more tidy than a GRHE.
