Thanks for the info. I'll do a search and read more. I'm new the the forum here too so excuse me if the topic was repetitive.

I am just starting out tying flies and my uncle gave me all of his old material and tools. I was sorting through it when I noticed small bug casings in the feathers. Upon further investigation I found living bugs of the same casings in the deer and elk hair hides that he had. Is that normal as far as any of you know or should I through the whole box away and get new stuff?
