Squirrel Nymph
- Sizes
- #10–#16
- Imitates
- stonefly nymphs · caddis larvae · mayfly nymphs
Dave Whitlock's Squirrel Nymph uses fox squirrel body hair and tail as dubbing for a buggy, all-purpose nymph. The guard hairs create movement and trap air bubbles, while the mottled coloration suggests stonefly nymphs, caddis larvae, and mayfly nymphs simultaneously.
