Where did you source all of the exotic materials? I only ask because I remember a “This American Life” episode regarding a flute player who broke into a museum to steal large quantities of birds for their feathers (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/654/the-feather-heist), and immediately thought of it when I saw the photo of your beautifully-tied Jock Scott. There’s also a book on the same crime titled “The Feather Thief” (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1101981636/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_sGPAFb0ND5VEW) I’m certainly not accusing you of doing anything untoward in securing materials, but it just reminded me of that fascinating story. Beautiful fly!
