Your humble scribe is now a guest blogger on the J.Stockard Fly Fishing website. (If you’re unfamiliar with J.Stockard, they have a huge selection of mail-order fly tying materials.) They’ve asked me to make regular contributions to their blog, and this is the first.
The three fly tying materials I can’t get enough of are blood quill marabou, Angora goat, and Ice Dub. You can read all about it here: http://www.jsflyfishing.com/blog/three-fly-tying-materials-i-cant-get-enough-of/
This weekend is supposed to be nice. I hope you’re all able to get out and fish.
I can’t get enough red fox squirrel, either.
Steve,
Is the red fox squirrel nymph pictured is representative of any particular mayfly nymph?
Thanks!
Alton
Caddis. The Squirrel and Ginger is actually a wet fly, but you could fish it as a nymph. Or tie the bead head version that you can find elsewhere on this site. You’re welcome. 🙂
Whoops!
Have you come across a source for the red fox squirrel Steve?
John, a google search for “red fox squirrel skin fly tying” should give you plenty of options.
Liked reading your comments on J. Stockard. Good info. for those of us who muddle along tying flies. Just caught a bunch of nice steelhead on Elk Creek near Girard, PA.
