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

Me, I'm happy to add to Tom's royalties:

I bought a couple of these at Coldspring Anglers ( I think was the

I never succeeded in tying one that was as good in that action,

although they look 'easy'

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.

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

Nope, I'm right there with ya. Our dear friend, Frank, reading this,
can only lead to heartache and woe. Our dear fried, Frank, WRITING
this, on the other hand, can only be construed as a positive
sign.....it strongly suggests the presence of at least one functioning
appendage.

giles

Three trips to Menards, 228 bricks and 30 bags of mulch, bricks
stacked, mulch spread, finished up with 2 acres of harrowing on the
Farmall. All limbs attached and back has turned to a pretzel. Think
I'll have another beer.

a #14CoyoteUgly,

By the way, a very good place for coyote masks is http://www.flytyingfurs.com/
As a matter of fact, if its fur, the guy pretty much has what you
need.
