But to each his own. Heck, I could even put a whole squirrel on there if I could keep 'em from wiggling and chomping my fingers in the process.
I remember many fine days using Silver Hiltons that you turned me on to, 40 ish years ago. Trout , crappie, bass and pelican bluegills loved them!!
The fly you tied looks like the pattern I remember , could add just a bit more squirrel tail to the wing!
But those will get em I’m sure! Remember fishing those at Strawberry at night and even deer creek behind a bubble for rainbows!!
Great job as always by the master crafter!!
Mildog out!
Didn't remember I had shared the Hiltons with you. But, then again, there's a lot I don't remember these days.
