Squirrel Huntin’

[CrappieDreamer]

Last fall my wife (real boss) decided she wanted the kitchen and dining room completely remodeled. It was a complete gutting down to the studs and sub flooring. I did most of the work myself, with a little help from my boys.

Well, after a VERY long time away from the tying bench, I finally have gotten some time to try out some grey squirrel tails I’ve had for awhile.

Let me know what you think. I couldn’t decide wether to add any flash. The top two patterns are using #6 sickle hooks with 1/32oz jigs. The bottom patterns are #8 sickle hooks with 1/64 oz jigs. The heads are natural/unpainted lead. I will probably pour and paint the next batch with chrome. Maybe even some with smoke color.

They look good. Is the red a floss or thread?

Those are some interesting ties which should prove rewarding
Question you sure those are gray squirrel tails
for up here they would pass as Fox squirrel tail
I may have to see if I have both to compare the difference
Up here I would tend to select the black bodied during ice out
Both are sure kills for any waters
