It's from the American Fly Fisher magazine. I'll try and post the link to it below if it works here. It starts on page 10, and concludes around page 20 if I remember correctly. 2002-Vol28-No2.pdf (amff.org) Regards, Mark The history, legends and literature, etc, etc in our sport is truly something special.

The biggest, most ambitious mayflies often drown in the process, so this should work well both wet and dry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chasing_Tails 0 Report post Posted January 30 Squishenille Redfish Slider Hook: FTD Big Game ST5500, #1/0 Thread: Uni-Thread, 6/0, tan Tail: Select Craft Fur, tan Flash: Krystal Flash, copper Collar: Saddle Hackle, barred orange/barred tan Head: Squishenille, medium, tan Eyes: Lead Dumbell, medium, red/black pupil I have been exploring the possibilities of squishenille and think that it can be a good substitute for spun deer hair, especially on patterns where you do not require the buoyancy of deer hair. It provides a bulky profile that is able to be trimmed in a manner similar to spun deer hair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
