Yes Ray, I made the "blend". A fly shop in Glenwood Springs, Colorado sells a Soft Hackle pattern (bead head) named the Squirrel Belly. My fishing buddy prefers to purchase them rather than try to tie them. The original pattern has lots of colors added to it. Red, Orange, Purple, Blue, Yellow, yet done in such a subtle manner I had to really look hard to see that anything had been added to the fur. I opt for Red Antron, and Bright Yellow SLF only. Both materials are cut in to 1/4 inch lengths beofre being blended with the SLF Squirrel Dubbing, and Amber rabbit fur. For a few years I used Red and Yellow strung Woolly Bugger hackles (barbules) cut in 1/4 inch lengths for my dubbing.letumgo wrote:Wayne - Did you make this dubbing blend? Care to share the formula?

Great lookin' flies. I'm likin' the spikiness and overall
appearance of these. Sort of a casual dress version
of Whitlock's Red Fox Squirrel, one without all the
complicated directions.
