BilletHead Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Nymph tying today, The Pink Squirrel is a pattern that originated in the driftless area of Wisconsin. John Bethke of Westby was the originator. There are size 16. Many variants out there now. Mine is straight grey squirrel and the hot pink spot is Pink Rabbit. Nice to source part of the material myself. Stretch and dry a gray. Scrape off the fur with a blade. Going to stop tying and do some fishing pretty soon. tjm, Nick Adams, FishnDave and 7 others 10 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
