what do you use squirrel hair for?

I have some squirrel tail hair and was going to use it for something and it didn't come out the way thought it would. So now I am wondering what I should use it for. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi tgoodwater2002,

Squirrel tail hair can be use in a lot of flies that Deer hair is used. Tails, wing cases, or even cut up and mixed into dubbing. Here are three flies that use squirrel tail.

Nymph with Squirrel Tail Wingcase (Spring Wiggler)

A Clouser style fly using Squirrel tail (Jay Murokoshi's Rusty Squirrel)
