Jimmy: You are a trapper right??? If so you may have what I have substituted
for Hare's Mask.. It is a Raccoons mask... My Mother in Law used to make
Dream Catchers before she passed away, and I have one from that...HTH, Chuck

Subject: [VFB] Now Hares Ear?
Now the question. I don't have any Hares Mask to make a real Hare Ear.
Anyone know of a suitable substitute, or color that will work?

The size I tie and use the most (and therefore have the best results with)
is 14, size 12 would be next. But I tie them and use sizes 10-18.
The pattern I follow is the one in Dave Hughes' book "Essential Trout
Flies." But then, for some reason (senior moments) I forget to tie in the
gold ribbing on about half of them. Those seem to work just as well.
(Which
is further proof of what's said in the quote, I suppose.) :-)
