very nice, I like it just the way it is .*** The fly has a dusty look due to my dusting my jackdaw skin with borax. No amount of persuasion

However, It could use a cold water swim, with a back cast snap dry - that will fix it!!

Soft and wet - the only way....

Re: “Dark Watchet”
Thanks Dana. She’s already cleaned up. My Jackdaw skin is like a powder puff though. On our next nice day I’ll take it outside and beat the poor bird. Mercy though as we are expecting 4 in of snow Friday.
