We kick issues off with a caddisfly sample from McFly Angler that sports activities turkey-slip wings to realize a lifelike profile and a white parachute submit for visibility. Subsequent, Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions serves up a Driftless Space basic: 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 the best way to tie a killer sample created by the late Flip Pallot, designed to catch backcountry redfish, snook, and tarpon.
