sometimes i come accross sheep wool and various furs in barb wire fences, horse hair and the odd plumage wafting around in the breeze etc etc which, when on the move in the hills can provide one with enough material to fool a lusty opportunistic trout...
Serendipity. Living off the land. Utilising Nature's cast-off bounty. I love it.

A couple more "in hand" roughies added to the mix in the bottom of this pic
Tried to film doing such but it didnt work out :D

One of the left would probably do well during olive uprights/medium olives? , one on the right may do well amongst the fish taking Caperer sedge emerging ..
