Pine squirrel is an excellent tying material. I love tying small streamers and mini leeches with pine squirrel. Tonight we tied up Slump Busters (John Barr), Lance Egan's popular "Poacher" and finally we tied up a hybrid mini leech that has a bit of Lance Egans "Mini Leech" and Glen's Leech in the pattern!
Next week, Doug Pullan will be doing a special presentation on ants. You will not want to miss this presentation. Just bring black UTC 70 and black UTC 140.
