That will sure get their attention Ruard. Love it. Pink can be an excellent color to use. You wound antron for the body? COOL.

DD!!! I was glad that I had subscribed to this thread. You made me a very happy woman today. I saved that pdf file, and I printed myself a copy too. AWESOME!!! My copy went straight to my hook notebook.

Thank you Ray. I never heard of a Valley Quail. I think I have two different quail skins though. Pretty sure one is a California Quail. I have a muskrat skin, but no young one. This is a large one I've had for years. A little of that, goes a long way.

Killer flies posted here. I don't know if we have this type of insect here, but the patterns are gorgeous.

Great tutorial. I am a bit squeamish on this kind of thing. But it is good to know stuff, just in case....

I like your sense of humor, Kirk!

Ray, loved everything about it. Hook, materials, dubbing...HACKLE. Sweet.

The 2nd one was my favorite, nice work!!

Now that is COOL.

That was a gorgeous pelt alright! You did a great job cleaning it up!
