    I have a question for Al. What do you use for the body? Red wool or floss?? Like you idea of a fanned squirrel tail underwing. Here in Wisconsin The Lama streamer is simular to the spruce but wood chuck is used for this hairwing streamer. For people how have not used woodchuck before it is a little oily or slippery to use. and it also semifloats. Ever tried woodchuck Al ?? I think it may ad a little more lift and saperation to the wing.
    I AGREE THAT THE FLY ON THE END OF YOUR TIPPET IS THE ONE THAT CATCHES THE FISH.
