Pink Squirrel Nymph Freshwater Hook : Wet Fly 12-16 hread : Brown or White 8/0 Head : Gold Bead Tail : Pearl Krystal Flash Rib : Pearl Krystal Flash Body : Dubbed Fox Squirrel back and orange Antron 3/4 Squirrel 1/4 Antron. Thorax : Flourescent Shell-Pink Chenile--Fine
Tying Instructions Start by placing the bead on the hook. Attach thread to hook and tie in 3 pieces of Krystal Flash at the rear of the hook. Two pieces can be short but one should be long enough to wind for the rib. For the body you can dub on a burnt orange squirrel blend. Or per the original, snip off some fur right next to the skin from the back of a fox squirrel, cut it up with scissors, mix in a little cut up orange antron and then dub and wind. Stop the body an eye length back from the bead. Wind the rib forward and tie off. Tie in the chenile and wrap a turn or two up to the bead. Put a little head cement on the back of the bead and rub it off with the thread as you tie off with your favorite finish. Clip the tails so they extend a bit beyond the bend of the hook.
Fly Notes Fly was developed by a local fly fisherman, John Brekke from Westby, WI.
Fishing Notes Nothing special, any preferred leader. I use a strike indicator. Target species are Brown, Rainbow & Brook Trout.
Location Notes Dead drift through riffles & pools. Pools usually better. Especially good to use when water clarity is less than good.
Prey Notes Attractor nymph.
