Hook - size 8, 10, or 12 standard wet or dry fly hook
Body - It's all rabbit including the tail and dubbed loosely then held in place with fine copper wire.
If you want you can weigh it with lead free wire or just drop shot it.
Hackle - I like partridge but any soft hackle will do
Head - As I mentioned the body is rabbit (natural color) except for the head which is RED rabbit fur.
Try it!!

Dear Ken,
I agree that the Swift River is getting there, albeit slowly. The Swift last crossed the 500 CFS threshold on April 28th at 3:00 PM, and has declined since to its present flow rate of 375 CFS. Analysis of all USGS Swift River 'high flow' data since 1994 yields a median elapsed time of 40 days to drop from 500 CFS to 150 CFS.
Using the April 28th date, with increasing confidence we can predict that the Swift will achieve a just-fishable flow rate of 150 CFS 'on or about' June 7th. As before, preferred flow rates of 100 CFS or 50 CFS may take longer to appear.
It's been a long wait, my friend!

Mike,
Fish the Ware or the EB. They are REAL rivers!!!

Hi Ken,
Heading up to Pittsburg NH to fish
for 1 week. Haven't been up there for a few years and looking forward to it. As in the past will be keeping a fishing journal and will provide a
report on the conditions in Northern NH regarding fishing for trout and landlocked salmon.
