Fur and feathers

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.

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. :sorry:

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

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