American Gamefowl

These two have decided they’re gonna free range. They finally came out of my shed. They also found out the electric fence stings a bit.

I’m not sure why I can’t get these precut into manageable strips and dyed different colors already. :rolleyes:

Yeah you got it rough don’t ya...:p

That takes me back ... I used to get deer hair flys from an old guy in exchange for a deer hide and some squirrel tails that I’d give him...

An ‘arteest’ he was not... they were pretty ugly flys really...but they caught a lot of smallmouth...

Havoc has serious skills tying flies hopefully he gets plenty use out of that deer an fur I sent him even if it wasn't dyed lmao. Maybe I'll get some flies from that buck an fur, but I see it this way if ol boy can use it I'll give it to him cause he's helped me so least I can do.

Tying with deer hair isn’t really difficult but its definitely an acquired skill. Hair from different sections of the deer are used for different kinds of flies. I’ve wanted to put my fist through the wall on many occasions messing with it.
I can tie just about any kind of fly now from size 30 itty bitty stuff up to 8/0 saltwater bucktail flies 10 inches long. I started with trout flies and gradually got into everything else. That’s usually what I’m doing when I’m on here at night.
