Pink Squirrel Fly
$1.99
The Pink Squirrel Fly is a buggy and effective nymph pattern known for its ability to produce strikes even when other flies fail. Originally developed in Wisconsin's Driftless Area, this pattern has become a staple for anglers across the country targeting trout, steelhead, and panfish. Its success lies in the combination of a lifelike, buggy appearance and a flashy "hot spot" that fish find irresistible. The weighted bead head ensures it quickly gets down to the feeding zone, making it a reliable year-round producer.
Key Features
- Weighted Bead Head: The gold-colored bead head helps the fly sink quickly through the water column, getting you to the fish's feeding level.
- Buggy Profile: The dubbing and squirrel fur body create a scruffy, lifelike profile that is often mistaken for a mayfly nymph or scud.
- Irresistible "Hot Spot": A distinct pink collar near the head provides a flash of color that attracts fish, especially in stained or off-color water.
- Versatile Design: This pattern is effective whether fished solo, as a dropper, or suspended under an indicator.
- Durable Construction: Tied on a strong, barbed hook, this fly is built to withstand aggressive takes from powerful fish.
