RED SQUIRREL BH

Description

Red Squirrel B.H. – a classic buggy nymph with natural appeal

The Red Squirrel B.H. is a proven, buggy-style nymph that imitates a broad range of aquatic insects. Tied with natural squirrel dubbing and finished with a bead head, these fly fishing flies offer a lifelike profile and subtle movement in the water. Its slightly shaggy texture creates a realistic silhouette that trout can’t resist. Versatile and dependable, the Red Squirrel B.H. works well as a searching pattern or hatch matcher in both clear and stained water.

Design / Features

The Red Squirrel B.H. features a natural squirrel dubbing body that traps tiny air bubbles, giving the fly a lifelike shimmer. A gold or copper bead head adds just the right amount of weight for getting the fly down quickly, while the slightly rough finish enhances movement in the current. The fly’s durability and simplicity make it a reliable choice for covering a wide variety of water types.

When & Where to Use

The Red Squirrel B.H. excels in freestones, tailwaters, and pocket water year-round. It’s especially effective during non-hatch periods when trout are feeding opportunistically. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, tight-line presentations, or under an indicator, this pattern shines in moderate to fast currents where a buggy, natural look can trigger strikes.
