Hare Lug (SBS)

[piscatus absentis]

We were discussing this flee at the weekend and discovered that several of us swear by this one.  Very, very easy to tie and very, very deadly in RUNNING water.   Troot anywhere in the world love it.

Picture 1 ? Materials.  Best is a size 12 with a copper bead.  Freshly killed hare is not necessary  - packeted dubbing is fine.   Copper wire from a multi strand cable.

Picture 2 - Put the bead on the hook and mount in vice.

Picture 3 ? Attach brown thread and about six inches of wire.

Picture 4 -  Use wire to secure bead.

Picture 5 ? Use wire to form a body and add weight.  Be as tidy or untidy as you feel.  Double pigtail of wire and run thread to back of hook to secure it.  Give wire a few twists.

Picture 6 -  Apply dubbing to thread.

Picture 7 ? Form body.  Neatness is not an issue.

Picture 8 ? Rib dubbed body with wire pigtail.  Wiggle off wire using the approved Scotfly method and tie off thread.
