Hope you are well on the way to a full recovery Lindsay....great fly and demonstration. Love using snowshoe hare. I was luckyenogh to fish in Tierra del Fuego in 2008 and one of the ghillies Jorge took me fishing ....we used patterns he had tied using snowshoe. 👌

It’s a great material, I really like it. Eyes starting to come good pal.

another great pattern for the fly box Lindsay and the snowshoe makes good dry fly bodies, ( hope the eyes are improving after the op )

It is a fair amount of effort but worthwhile I think.

Great pattern, Lindsay. Thanks for sharing. I have just had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, and all I can do is watch fly tying videos...keep them coming. 😎 How are your eye doing after surgery? Hope all is well.

Eyes are getting better all the time Todd, hope your wrists are fit for the new season.

A great LDO with several on point tips. Breaking the deer hair is a simple often ignored step both by newbies and old hands. Also the drop of glue/varnish on the threads under the head gives more service life to the dressing. One thing I will add is if you are getting low on snowshoe, hares mask or tree rat (African squirrel) can be used in substitution. With CDC fibres for the thorax/head.
