I have weighted the head of the fly before but never the body. Could be a good addition to the fly, since I don't think it matters how this fly rides in the water due to its equal proportions. Let me know if it works.
I really enjoy your show - fishing and especially the instruction. I just purchased a Flytying kit and will make the Rabbit Killer one of my first attempts at tying. I fish in Michigan rivers for trout/steelhead. Would this fly be good for Steelhead?

Hi Don
I'm curious do you ever weight Don's Killer Rabbit

Hi Walt,
This fly works great for Steelhead tied in Purple and Pink instead of the Trout colors. Also tie this pattern in Black with a Blue collar.
