Title: Squirrel Paraloop Flies
Post by: Rabmax on February 15, 2012, 05:16:35 AM
I have been tying up Paraloops the last few days.On most of the saddle capes i have i have been running very short of larger feathers suited to making paraloops.I have been holding off buying more saddles hoping the prices might drop a bit after this hair extensions craze dies out.Anyway i decided to try Grey Squirrel for the loop instead of hackle.Must say it works a treat & floats like a cork once treated.If you use the lighter grey & black mottled parts of the skin it even looks very similar to Grizzly Hackle.Hopefully the trout like Squirrel in there diet.Cheers All
