Re: Crow Secondary Wing Feather

Be careful. Crow feathers are one of the questionable feathers to possess. I believe that some States do allow people (mainly, farmers) to shoot crows with a special permit. But it’s a no-no for most hunters. “ The possession of feathers and other parts of native North American birds without a permi...

Re: Fox Ear Dubbing

Good thing Doug was able to help you out. Very little hair behind the ears of my fox mask. No idea why. REE Same with the mask that Doug sent me. That being said, I'm hoping to get a dozen or two of Pritt's #13 March Browns tied, if I can find enough of the right-sized Wookcock hackles (always a re...

Re: Fox Ear Dubbing

Just started tying 3 or 4 this evening. Between my fingers and bad back, I can’t tie very many at one sitting!

Re: Fox Ear Dubbing

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to Doug Duvall (Dougsden) who sent me, not only a red fox mask but also a gray fox mask, that I received this morning. So, I now have the "the hair from a red fox's ear" to tie a few of T.E. Pritt's #13 - March Brown dressing. Now, the big problem is to find some dressi...

Re: Sunny Dun Hen Neck (variant)

Ray / John

Thanks for showing the pics and name. I have a couple skins that color that I got quite a few years ago from Dave Roberts and had no idea what to call them.

Re: A Small Wheatley Box

Ron Hope all goes well with your surgery and quickly back tying flies. Ian was quick in getting out my two 1302 leax boxes, which now makes four of them for me plus another (same size) but no leaf. Small, compact and hold lots of spiders and soft hackles for this OLD guy. Cheers and Good Health Bob

As do I. And with bright yellow, it would make a great sulfur emerger.
Great idea. I'll have to do some with the yellow dubbing. Thanks.

“Three Pheasant Tail” Soft Hackles

From a write-up I did recently for our local TU Chapter's monthly newsletter: Approx. 15 or so years ago, a German fellow who posted on “The Classic Rod Forum” sent me an e-mail with a picture of a soft hackled nymph dressed with a pheasant tail body; gold wire ribbing; a Hungarian partridge hackle ...
