Fur and feathers

[Dave - WX2CIB]

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone would be willing to send me some furs and feathers from their hunts. I am learning to tie my own flies.

I don't have any fur since I stopped trapping. I have a few turkey feathers I picked up during walks that I could send you if you're interested. Shoot me a PM.

What you really want is a squirrel tail. I haven't been out yet this year but I'll keep you in mind when I go.

Good luck with your fly-tying.

Get a coyote face too if you can

I'll save you some squirrel tails  and if I am lucky enough to kill a duck or two, perhaps some wood duck or mallard flanks...

I have a feeling Dave is going to be tying a lot of flies this winter!

You bet!

I have some turkey feathers from this past spring. Let me know if you want any. I might have some black bear fur lying around too.

We'll be expecting some pics come spring! Pygmy tails and Philo feathers taking some trout. Where the heck is Hammond, BTW?

It is up along the St. Lawrence River and near Canada. About 45 mins North of Watertown. And I'll be definitely sharing pictures.

This a very low-cost get-together. An envelope full of feathers costs 50 cents to mail. A squirrel tail without the bone costs 50 cents to mail. Stuff a small piece of bear hide in an envelope and 50 cents will probably work. Tape the bear hide to the bottom of the envelope so they can run it through the machine. They get really annoyed when their machines don't work.

We have a Hammondsport in this area. But I had never heard of Hammond. Good to know, and thanks for the info.

Post some photos of your fly-tying along the way. It's fascinating to see how people do that stuff.

Post this request in the small game section too. Someone may be able to set you up with some pheasant feathers as well.

This is something I have knowledge in.You say your going to start learn to start 6/0 thread some dub wax lead wire and some fine to medium tinsels.I collect all fer and feathers and exp from them also pick up some jigheads and decide what weights work best.Bucks tails work best for making rooster tails.

My first ever large tie and swap. Griffith's Gnat size 12. Still lots of improvement needed but it'll come as I tie more and get into future swaps.
