This is what a pile of 100 #16 Pheasant Tail Soft Hackles looks like. In case anyone was wondering.
Off to the Post office now to be donated to a Tie-A-Thon.

Beautiful hatch Mark! Well done & kudos.
I imagine your partridge skin now has a large patch missing.

Yep, pheasant tails are looking a little scraggly as well.

I came across it on FB last year. I was going to tie up a bunch of hoppers but I forgot I donated my foam bodies and cutter to a 4H group that was teaching kids how to tie flies and Fly fish.
Flies are going to 3 organizations. The Mayfly Project, Reeling in Recovery Atlanta, and Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock - NY.

Mark,
So, that's what 100 Pheasant Tail Soft Hackles looks like! Beautiful! I was reading the list of charities you have listed and are donating to! Equally beautiful! Keep up the good works!
