Bunny Clouser Variant

A couple of days ago I referenced a clouser minnow variant that I have been playing around with.  I realized after the fact that I had failed to include a picture and description of the variant that I was referencing so I thought I would share a little more info about what I have been experimenting with.

This is basically a clouser minnow with a the bucktail on the top of the fly getting swapped out for a rabbit strip.  I had the intention to fish this fly last year but never got around to it, but this year is going to be different.  I have yet to see how this fly behaves in water, either the fly tester or an actual lake, but I have high hopes for the fly.  I'm hoping that it has a long, slender, minnow-like profile with some good action from the rabbit strip.  I also hope that I can avoid the strip fouling around the hook,  If this fly proves itself on the water, you will probably be seeing it in the Etsy store in the near future!
