I think I'll be doing a batch of squirrel tail micro-clousers. Been having real good luck with them around here lately.

Cool. I can't wait to see those Tim. When you say "micro-Clousers" what size are you talking about?
I will tie a PNB. A modified prince nymph. It worked well at one of the local lakes I fished it on.
I will tie a phesant tail variant that I am playing with.
Tim--
I've been tying them on #10 mosquito hooks, but I'm thinking I might have to bump up to an eight as the gills get more aggressive with the warming water.

Cool, can't wait to see them. Is that mosquito hook a circle hook?
The basic hook shape is the same and it's got the wide gap, but it doesn't have the 90 degree point like the circle hook does. Fish can still get these deep once in a while (hence the need to go to a slightly larger hook possibly), so it's not quite as good as the circle, but I can't find circles small enough for gills anymore.
I'm not sure if these will work, but you might check them out:

I have a box of #10 Mustad circles I'm guarding with my life right now! Got a few leeches tied on some that I'm waiting to try out!
Ill have to try & make it up there...
