Nice work.
Did you use a dyed or bleached hare mask, or did you choose a light section of fur?

I just used a light section of fur. It was a natural hare's mask.

Well done. Most of the European Brown Hares I "collect" here are quite a bit darker in colour and almost Mole blue in the underfur.

I think your pattern would serve well as a March Brown, PMD, or a number of Caddis. Very well done.

This pattern was given to me by Bill Shuck, I just tied it. Bill has been a huge inspiration to me in tying flymphs.
