This week’s Tying Tuesday options 4 frizzy flies that make use of a wide range of dubbings, hairs, and feathers. We kick issues off with a caddisfly sample from McFly Angler that sports activities turkey-slip wings to attain a lifelike profile and a white parachute put up for visibility. Subsequent, Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions serves up a Driftless Space traditional: John Bethke’s Pink Squirrel . . . however with a twist.
Should you dig small Woolly Buggers, you’re going to like Shawn Holsinger’s cool model with a CDC physique. Lastly, Collin Morrill of Strike-Zone Fly Fishing demonstrates how you can tie a killer sample created by the late Flip Pallot, designed to catch backcountry redfish, snook, and tarpon.
