Same here - it decomposes a bit to fast in my opinion. Resently i tried som "Nymph Skin" a material witch have the same possibilities as latex. I havent seen it rut yet, and i think they may have don somthing about the problem. And then there is "condoms" as you might know - they coms in a lot of colours, and with flavors too !!! I heard from a sailor. Some years ago a fly called "Condom fly" vas popular for sea trout here in Denmark. But still - go for the "Nymph skin" - It vas ment for flytying. :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: :hyst:

you are the boss Geozip - i leave it to you to deside the deadlines. :nopity: ostfyn

Take a look at "Art of Angling Jurnal" Vol 1, issue 3. Here is an artikel written by Paul D Miller, on feathers from a bird called "Gray Rhea" This bird looks a lot like a Emu, and if the feathers also are alike i think you have som good stuf. This bird are also known as "Nandhu" and i have a lot of dull gray feathers from this bird. They have different structure, som are like ostric, and others looks like the ones on your picture. So far I have not tyed many flies with them, because of the color, but if i could dye them I think they could be usefull for som saltwater flies. Ostfyn

Mission compleat :drunk: - my flies leaves today. looking forward to her that they has arrived. Ostfyn

Why dont you just make one - a piece of cardboard and a cuple of pinns/nedles will do the job

In scandinavia where I live, tube flies are common in use for both salmon and seetrout. They are dressed in a lot of different patterns, and in tube versions of standard salmon patterns. Perhaps sombody would like to host a tubefly swap? - just to put a litle spotlight to the subject. ostfyn

a couple more is OK with me

I would like to join this swap - the problem is that i live in Denmark and i dont know how to deal with sending and receiving flies from USA. If you can help me out - tell me how its done - well im in My spelling might be bad, but i hope you can read this anyway Regards Ostfyn
