Great dropper for hopper-dropper. Pine squirrel hunts the hogs!
-
I tie the same thing but I use some of the squirrel tail in a dubbing loop for the collar
-
What a killer fly pattern. Couldn’t agree more about Max, that dude knows how to catch fish.
-
Caught my first Farmington River (CT) trout on white version of this. Have it tied in black, white and olive now.
-
Great work and Max is the man!
-
This pattern does really well on Great Lakes steelhead also
-
I always tie my squrreltails the other way around. If i keep them fairly short, i don't have any issues with wrapping aroung the hookbend. And i feel like the leech is drifting with the well marked squirrel fibers first/down rather than the leather part...So the fish might see the fibers first. Any thoughts, Charlie?

What size hook and bead do you fish the most?
-
Sorry you dont love that blue background, sure makes it easier to see whats going on though!
