tying flies with a bird dog

Recommended Posts

Anybody ever try tying flies with a German Shorthair Pointer.

To cold to be outdoors today so I sat down at the tying desk to tie up a bunch of pheasant rump leeches.

My female GSP really wanted to help:)

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fresh pheasant feathers I was using.

I have a pheasant skin in the basement drying out with salt and borax. I will have to make some of these when it is ready.

This Brit was always more sly. And would wait till I was away and only help herself to a single wing, rump or what ever I was careless with.

 

I would give her a hide to have her back.

 

All dogs go to heaven and the lucky dogs get a slice here on earth.

 

Nice flies BTW
