hunthicks 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2005 I like them all. I use hungarian partridge, french partridge, ruffed grouse, spruce grouse, sharptailed grouse, woodcock, snipe, pigeon, starling, blackbird, crow, hen greenwing teal, quail, and just about any bird the cat wants to drag in!

Rob Knisely 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 QUOTE Where can one get woodcock? Hey, Joe: You might try Anglers Den (formerly English Angling Trappings). I've got two skins and several in the freezer waiting to be skinned, courtesy of my bird-hunting friend. I'll send you a few feathers if you want to check them out... just shoot me an e-mail with your address. Here's a nice woodcock pattern: Riley's Fancy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddog48 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 Good luck with Anglers Den. Since Jim sold it, I have had nothing but problems with them. I made an order about a year ago and still haven't received everything from them. I won't use them again. You might check out Theriault Flies in Patten, Maine also. Alvin may have what you're looking for as well. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
