There is a local tackle company here that buys squirrel tails to make fishing flies with. What do I have to do to get the tails ready? Thanks in advance.

Hector,
the easiest way would to go to the tackle shop and ask them how they want the tails then you can go from there

When I was a kid my dad and I would save our squirrel tails for a few years and trade them in for lures. It was a really big deal for me back then. Great way to get lures. Actaully, 20-25 years later, I still have a few of them in my tackle boxes.
