RAINY`S BETHKE`S PINK SQUIRREL - #12
A proven trout-catching nymph that combines natural tones with a bright hotspot for irresistible attraction. Designed by John Bethke, this fly is a favorite for anglers fishing Midwestern streams, driftless creeks, and trout waters everywhere.
Features:
Size: 12
Pattern type: Nymph
Natural hare’s ear body for lifelike texture and movement
Distinctive pink or orange hotspot collar to trigger strikes
Gold bead head for subtle weight and natural drift
Excellent for trout, panfish, and smallmouth bass
Effective year-round, especially in clear or lightly stained water
The Pink Squirrel bridges the gap between a nymph and an attractor pattern—subtle enough for selective trout but flashy enough to stand out in varied water conditions.
