Re: Wisconsin grouse
I believe that would be the "ruffed" type of grouse -- the same bird that Downeasters call "partridge".

Re: Wisconsin grouse
Now that's a happy dog!
John,
You're a rare bird...a computer jockey, who hunts, tyes flies and fly fishes. Quite the Renaissance Nerd.
(friendly humor)
I love the flies, by the way. Beautifully balanced proportions, with a march brown color scheme. Good stuff.

Re: Wisconsin grouse
Killer ties, John. Those would kill in Arkansas on the White. Also appreciate the hunt pictures. I would like to be able to bag some grouse, have a great dinner, then tie some flies with the same bird all in one day. Maybe if you have any bird pics with your dog, PM or post if you don’t mind. I need to start hunting again- was my main endeavor as a kid. Maybe some bobwhite or dove feathers might make some decent tying feathers?
Re: Wisconsin grouse
Those hackles work great here. Nice pattern.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Mike62, Howdy;
Don't know about the rest of the folks but Maternal Grandfather was from
Prout's neck and was a Walker, the other side of the same branch were Libbys.
For me "Down East" is the run of the smaller counties from York to Washington
inclusive. Me, I was born 'away'.

Re: Wisconsin grouse
No, no! I was genuinely curious; I'm sorry If that came across as 'pointed'; that wasn't my intention at all! I live no where near the Downeast region of my state (Hancock and Washington counties) and it always amuses me how protective downeast residents are of that title. I live a little northwest of Caribou and the rest of the state considers us to be barely out of the pleistocene.
