I've been reading the snowshoe hare posts on the reference tab. I remembered I had dyed a snowshoe foot when I was dying calf tails for Norm Wood Specials. It produced an interesting shade of reddish tan with the expected variations associated with the white natural.
I decided to try a Better's Usual using this material. Not sure if the dumb Oregon trout will recognize the thing like those smart Adirondack guys would, but we'll give it a try. I'm going to use some of this dyed underfur for flymph bodies too....

I’d fish that with complete confidence! That color is so nice. Beautifully buggy fly. Inspiring post, Ron.

Ron
I have fished Usuals with good results out west and think this would be great during a Mahogany dun hatch!

Ron, looks like bait. Inspired. Thinking I'd like to try some versions with whisk tailing as well.
