SQUIRRELLY TUBE FLIES
When I was a boy growing up, the very first game animal I hunted was Squirrels. The woods were full of the big Red Fox Squirrels. Not only were they great sport for a growing lad, they were also very tasty to eat, and on top of that they were a source of fly tying material.
Besides the Red Fox Squirrels, which were pursued in the forests of Oak, Beech and Maple, the northern pine forest had an abundant population of the smaller Pine Squirrels.
How do you actually connect the hook with the tube?
I must admitt I am new to this concept of fishing these flies. Ican understand tying it but once it is inside the tubing how do you connect it to the tippet? I mean you have to cast it right?
It would be very useful to show photos of how you tie it and what knot you use for this type of fly.
Thank you inadvance and appology for inexperience
