Red Squirrel Silver Body Picket Pin

Red Squirrel Silver Body Picket Pin (RSP)

This is a Don Bastian variation of an old standard.

Tail - Brown schlappen fibers or hen hackle

Ribbing - Oval silver tinsel

Body - Flat silver tinsel

Hackle - Brown schlappen or hen fibers

Wing - Red squirrel. Fox squirrel was used on these 

Head: Peacock herl. Use two strands; winding two at once gets the job done faster, but moreover, two strands of peacock herl are twice as strong as one. Add a drop of head cement before winding the herl.
