Tail Material:
Squirrel tails are often used to create the tails on artificial flies. Their stiffness helps the tail to maintain its shape and position in the water.
Wing Material:
The fibers can be used to form wings on certain fly patterns. Their fine texture allows for a realistic imitation of the delicate wings found on many aquatic insects.
Bodies and Thoraxes:
Squirrel tail fibers can be wrapped around the hook shank to form the body of the fly. They provide a natural, segmented appearance that is attractive to fish.
Dubbing:
Sometimes, the fur is mixed with other materials and used as dubbing for bodies and thoraxes. This blend can create a more buggy and lifelike appearance in the fly.
