TF. Count me in. I'll tye the Pink Squirrel Nymph; a killer pattern that is very popular in the driftless area, but has also worked great for me in the Northeast, especially on wild browns.

i think i'll tie Dave Whitlocks Red Fox Squirrel Hair Nymph

That's a great fly!

It's also nice that the fly's originator; Dave Whitlock, gets mentioned in the name of the fly.

I neglected to mention that the pink squirrel was originated by John Bethke. It's often called Bethke's Pink Squirrel.

KEY BUMP!

I would like to get in on this swap...I haven't trimmed lately, so my pubic fly would be a great addition to this swap and I have plenty of materials for it.

I'm not sure which is grosser. The thought of you sitting around grooming around your netherland area, you then handling your split ends in a stacker, or seeing an actual fly with the "material" you dubbed on a hook.
