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.
