Allen Fly Fishing Black Friday Sale
mybadhabit replied to Davidpensfan87's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
Did anyone have a problem with processing their order? I couldn't get mine to go thru for some reason. I called and will probably get a call back from Kyle on Monday to see what the problem was. Blane -
It can wait, send away. Blane

There are squirrel tails and then there are squirrel tails.
mybadhabit replied to captkenroy's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
I get about a tail a week from roadkill around here, fox squirrels are quite abundant in Dallas, especially our neighborhood, it has two creeks running thru it and is very much a wooded area. I see the first two versions often, never seen a specimen with a tail like the third one. Blane -
Tony, let me guess, was that on NPR? They were going to put it on the air twice here. Blane

It is a topic that comes around about once or twice a year. It comes up about each time someone get the bugs. Blane

I can't believe it's almost the end of November!!!! I should have mine out on Monday, sorry for being late again. Blane -
Bruce, please tell me where you got that hair stacker, I can't seem to find a big stacker like that anywhere, Griffin used to make one, but I haven't been able to find one anywhere. Blane

Has anyone ever tried Pigeon? They aren't illegal to hunt and you might have a decent color choice if you're a good shot. Blane

Depends on what you consider high end, the best place to get that answer might be the rodbuildingforum.com. Blane

I went looking for some turkey feathers the other day and got a huge surprise, I'd been infested with bugs!!!! I had most of my feathers in a plastic tub that I keep closed for just this reason. I'd purchased some feathers at an auction from another tyer and I think they came with the saddles. I lost 2 full saddles, part of a Whiting ginger saddle and some turkey feathers. In other words, I got very lucky that it didn't take the whole 18"x24"15" tub of feathers. It is now loaded with moth balls and has been nuked to take care of any leftovers. One would think after reading this forum every day for a couple of years that I would have learned to not take chances with feathers and skins, BUT NOOOOOOO, I HAVE TO LEARN THE HARD WAY. Now fur and feather boxes and drawers are moth balled and I won't let it happen again, hopefully. Blane

One can find skins in the buy it now section of ebay for $15 and free shipping almost all the time. Blane

Mine will be in the mail on Monday. Sorry for pushing the deadline, I've been a little busy as of late. Blane

Xrayts, how much weight did you use, are you using a 1/64 oz jig head? I would think that would be enough weight to get it down. Blane

I think we can wait for them. Blane

You should try putting this up in the Trading Floor section of this site, you might get more bites. Blane

Shovler flank feathers have a great pattern if I'm not mistaken, and all are good for something. Blane

A small bundle of those guard hairs on ebay can fetch a nice wad of cash. I've seen them many times in the fly fishing listings on ebay, and they can cause bidding wars. Blane

There is a guy on ebay that sells size 10 and 12 1/100oz jig head hooks at a really great price, but I can't remember the name. It was the cheapest price I found on the web. I think the name was Bob Craven. Blane
