Pink Squirrel Nymph AKA The Persuader

The Pink Squirrel Nymph or as it may also be known, the Persuader is a fly pattern designed by John Bethke of Westby, Wisconsin. The fly is a great choice for fishing in the winter and into the spring. It is an attractor fly but may be considered a scud pattern.
The fly is a popular choice for fishing the Driftless Area in Minnesota, Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois, and northeastern Iowa of the American Midwest and featuring the upper Mississippi River.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
