They are. On a 3xl shank streamer hook, tie on a fluffy tail of white
marabou. Then(and this is the key part), loop dub a heavy body of white fur
with lots of guard hairs. Rabbit will work fine, although I have access to a
lot of shed fur from an American Eskimo dog. The resulting body should look
like a mess, and you will make it worse by scruffing up the body with a
shorthair brush or such.
Then, carefully clip the body fur down to a tapered shape sort of suggestive
of a fish body: fatter in front, tapering to the rear. Tie and cement head
and you are done.

a #14 Coyote Ugly,


What is it? * *I Googled and came up empty ( of flies if not bars )


State secret. Designed by me, sold at Penn's Creek Angler, carried by quite
a few Central PA guides. Some day, I'll release the pattern to the public..
But, not yet.
It's still generating income, so to speak.
It involves coyote face hair, dyed olive/grey/tan for the body, a rib of
silver tinsel and a wing of darkish dun snowshoe, which should be enough to
get you started..g

More than that and he'll have to tie it for you.
