FLYMPH FORUM

I am not much into canoes. If I needed something for more shallow water, I'd get a pontoon. If I had big money, I'd get a Hobie with foot pedals, those things are nice.

Could be Reeves pheasant;



Or Amherst pheasant tippets;



If you post a picture I can probably tell you what they are.

I would love to have a Reeve's Pheasant skin from the male, and female. Beautiful birds.

Thankx Mike, but it's not any of that........i have tons of Amhearst Pheasant, natural & dyed.......complete skins to the tune of 3 or 4.......allllllll kinds (colors), of necks with crest.........and LOTS of tails........i also have a complete Reeves skin.........
i'd post a pic..........but don't wanna have to bother Mark with deleting it later on so i can "retrieve" the pic slot. Sorry but i just can't get into pics much lately..........perhaps, i'll include one of the feathers ("Hamburg"), in a pic of a fly one day soon.........maybe the feather, AND a fly tyed using one. Tkx. again.....

Kelly.....call (or go on-line), Mike Hogue at Badger Creek Fly Tying.........thass where i got my Reeves........
