The Icelandic horse hair may be a little different then what we have in the states. I have used the icelandic and love it, comes in a lot of colors but is not cheap. Couple patterns I tyed using it.

Those are awesome photos Plumbob. I havent seen horse hair used like that before, just used as a braided body. That is cool. I'm definatly going to broaden my tying horizons a bit and try that.

Hey Gregg,

 

I just got back from week's fly fishing and I have the horse hair you sent, thank you!!! I put a few pics of some hog brownies in the Realistic area of the site.

 

Cheers,

Graham

I saw those monsters you caught. Looks like you had a great time in some very pretty country. I'm envious. Good luck with that hair, be sure to post some pics when you get some tied.

Hey Plumbob;

 

Now you know good and well that isn't artic runnner. :dunno: From the looks of it and from what I remember; I guess it to be ear hair and from the looks of the flow, I would say that it is from your right side. :o As always, love them fly's that you ty but I was wondering if I could get your trimmings from the left side, as my fly's face the other way... :hyst: :j_k:

 

I have yet to see anything come from your vice that is anything less than art, great job again my friend...

 

 

Your going to kill me, aren't ya :ph34r:

Wyknot, I wonder what the horse population is in Wyoming? If we have somewheres around 450,000 people, I bet horses out number us 5 to 1. I should be talking to the Department of Livestock next week, I see if anyone there knows how many horses there are.

 

Interesting observation. I did not realize that we had that many people; they must all live in your part of the state. I am okay with that.
