Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions initially taught us to connect a Pine Squirrel Banner practically a lots years back, and ever since, he’s shown 2 more complex variations: the Pine Squirrel Trout Spey Banner and the Well Balanced Pine Squirrel Banner. Recently, he’s been concentrating on “Guide-Style Flies,” patterns that fast and simple to connect however will still capture a lot of trout. So today’s video reveals you how to develop a killer banner from a single zonker strip and a little weighting wire (which is optional).
