dont know. I always throw em back. I'm out testing flies. Red and white was the color of the day as it usually is with these guys. The simplest red and white flies did better than any of my other elaborate creations.

If they knew how difficult is is to cast a fly the weight and size of a hamster all day they should have been a little more cooperative.

Must be a heck of a top water hit

Yeah. First cast it's a nice soft landing after that it's like a wet towel. The bigger pickerel smash them flies though. That last one was a decent size. He pulled my little canoe around for a bit. 40 degrees this morning.

I think they are for real. We used to sell battle cocks for $50 to $150 each once they were tamed to handling. Most of the time they were sold in groups of five to six. This was more than 30 years ago so taking into account inflation all seems in line. Ours were sold for what is now illegal purposes. We never sold hens to my knowledge although brood fowl where traded with friends. If brood fowl were to have been sold then price would be higher as they would be close four years old or more.

With my luck, I would have to keep that type bird close to the house. A bobcat would get it before the first chick was sired.

Awesome hackle feathers on that bird. He could use them like a matador's cape.
