  1. I understand your position on the avatar and will think about another pic. As far as the title of being a bait fisherman, I thought someone was playing a joke and make it that way and thought about just leaving. I'm glad I asked so now I know how this place runs...though strange as it seems. If it wasn't for the friendliness of the members here, I wouldn't have asked. The pic is on another PC and I'll work on getting it on here because it's a beautiful boat. I love the ease of moving it on the water. It has a balance of width and rock from front to back which makes it stable and easy to row and I have a bad back. I've taken a run of the river a couple of times and each time makes it easier than the other...tho it is a simple run. Remember, the slow water gives you a chance to really show off your skills, drift, relax and play your line.
  2. Hello fellow members. My name originated from working the night shift and used it in a play kind of way to help with accepting the shift and it stuck. I found this site by searching for wood duck neck feathers and actually found some before I had a chance to formally introduce myself. What a great bunch of members!?! My brother got me into fly fishing in the early 70's and the first fish I cought on a fly rod was an 8 3/4 pound Atlantic Salmon. It kind'a spoiled me and made it difficult to manage a sensitive, light weight rod and still does at times. I've recently purchased a home-made drift boat from my brother and have been having a blast at the West Branch of the Penobscot River. Speaking of that, is there a way to change my title from "Bait Fisherman" to "Big Eddy Drifter"? I want to post the boat as my avatar pic as well, it has Big Eddy Drifter stenciled on the sides of the bow. Anyways, I've recently started back fly fishing and camping, I needed something to steer me back to sanity. I'm looking to do a little work on the home so I can put it on the market. I'm planning to head north so I won't have to travel much to do my outdoor sporting. I love hunting, fishing and camping and the Millinocket area has the best of both worlds for me. I've met a friend already with the trade for duck feathers and it looks like we may be hunting together I hope to meet more of you as time goes by and be able to help others.
  3. I'm looking for the neck feathers of a wood duck, especially the ones with a white tip that forms a "V" pattern. It's used on the West Branch Caddis and laid flat on top. I'm guessing that to a fish this looks like a splayed wing when the sky is bright. Whatever, it's a killer fly on the West Branch of the Penobscot River in Maine. EDIT: Oh, and the other feathers of the neck work great on emergers, just a dubbed body and the feather folded over the top in sizes 14 and 16.
