Zonkers and wooly buggers are my two go to streamers for trout... I believe in them that much that i rarely tie any other of them. Of course, i have couple of variations on each. Simple Squirrel Zonker is one of them.

Enjoy

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
