Nice looking fly! It has a March Brown look to it.

Bill,
That is one real looking pattern! Pine Squirrel is so nice to work with and your dyed rust fur is exceptional in color! I can only imagine turning one of these loose to hunt during a March Brown hatch! Great job Bill as always!

I hope to test this with my old standby Hafele & Hughes March Browns.
A #16 with this dubbing will be in the works for Mahoganies with a dark dun hackle.

Very march brown indeed ! Great looking fly, I like the contrast of the body and hackle.

Bill... love that pine squirrel... we still need to get together and cut some zonkers from my rusty skin. I'm tying more sculpins this winter from various pine squirrel micro zonkers and don't have any zonkers from that hide.

I missed this one earlier (dealing with the blizzard). Lovely fly Bill. Excellent color combination.
