Re: Prairie Chicken Skin

Hey Brian.
Tie a few Carey Specials with your Prairie Skin.
Those larger feathers are perfect for that pattern.

Re: Golden Soft Hackle

Nice, Bill!
I really like the look of the segmentation created by the tail fibers twisted into a rope.
Gotta give that one a go.
That pattern has Halloween all over it!

Re: Irish Grouse

I thought the herl was bronze too, Greg.
Don't know if it's true, but I heard if you left green herl on a window sill in the sun it would "bleach"
and turn bronze.

Nice job Norm!

The last time I was on your Owyhee, the browns crushed those on a dropper. ;)

Re: Partridge & Rust

Very nice, Bill.
I see John Shaner several times a year, last at Fly Fest in Rosco, NY less than a month ago.
he is still very active here in the Catskills and it's always a privilege to sit and talk with him.

That's just WOW
Your tying skills are amazing.
