Rub a dub dub

I do have a couple of patches from Steve, and I do like using them. One problem in ordering patches you may get the same piece from the same area on the animal. Whereas like all animals different parts of the body, different textures and colors.

I would suggest you simply articulate your request and Steve will meet your specific needs to the tee.

If not, let me know and I will clobber him on your behalf when he comes over to the Dutch FlyFair come May

Cheers,
Hans W

Finding hare body is a bit of a struggle here. Since I like having a stock pile of natural variations and dyed colors, but don't often need a ton of it, I look through the zonker strip section of the fly shop. I prefer natural and have acquired a nice collection this way. I think most of the hare body available in the US is in this form. I also always keep an eye out for seconds from tanners at various shows and markets. The plus is if I get the itch to hunt the lowly bass I wrap a piece around the hook add a weight and I'm set to go.

Full body from different seasons , particularily an old jack would be the way to go, but I have found it very difficult to buy as such.

Steve in cookshill will usually give form different areas when requested.
