The Schminnow is what happens when a fly tier looks at rabbit fur and thinks, that should be in saltwater. The strip of rabbit undulates in the current with the kind of natural action that synthetic materials can only dream about. It looks alive because, in a sense, it used to be. Redfish and trout do not overthink this. They eat it.
