Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 Okay guys we've got ourselves a swap! This one should be a lot of fun. I'm already in trouble with the wife for my poor haircutting skills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mridenour 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 I have been thinking about tying with pet hair. We have a husky that never ceases to give both undercoat and the longer stiffer hairs. I haven't tried it yet but this gets me thinking I shouldn't keep putting it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 Sorry, I'm going to keep it as full now. I don't want the hassle of wanting people to tie extra flies, and they might not get the message and come up short. But if this one is a success I very well might do a pet hair 2.0. I'll save a spot for you if that happens! Thanks for your interest! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 That is beyond awesome!! I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a 2.0 at some point, I'll hold a spot for you too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVette 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 I guess i better clearify my cat. His name is Ballou and he is a Tonkinese which is a LARGE siamese type cat...he is about 25lbs. I am experimenting with trying to tie an emerger that i can use my Madigascar Ground Boa's skin as the shuck on. I can't promise the snake skin will work out but i am always using the brush leavings from Ballou for dubbing...he has hair very similar to a chinchilla's. I will try to find a pic of both this week-end...maybe even a couple of experiments to let you choose what i send. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 Husky makes an awesome dubbing as does wolf and deer hound. If you do 2.0 and would let in a foreigner I have some great mixes and just working with some Shetland pony and highland cow which is very interesting.

I'll be a little more adventurous with my shipping by then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essequamvideri 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Travis this is a great idea. I'd like to see pictures of the flies before you mail them out. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to use more weight on my next tries. The flies I tied yesterday and used last night wanted to ride upside down until they were very saturated with water.
