A nice surprise

[Christopheraaron]

A couple days ago I emailed a few local taxidermists to see if I could have any scrap fur, at about 10pm I got an email from one of them back, he said that he had bits and pieces of deer and bear. He said he was also a fireman and so he's leave them at the station for me to pick up. So I swung by today expecting a ziplock of small skin patches, it ended up to be way more than I could ever hope for, I got 2 backs, a belly, and a nice sized patch of bear!

 

 

Always pays to ask!

Well done.

Those remains are probly due to not getting a cape mount..

[Christopheraaron]

Need any more caddis there bri? LOL

[Locnar]

Hey Chris, wanna tie some flies for me? As for which flies, I dunno... nymphs and maybe streamers? Smaller ones? Prices?

[Christopheraaron]

For sure mike, ill text you.

[bare foot wader]

hmm...I wonder if I email a taxidermist up in NWT if I'd score any polar bear or arctic fox?..ha

 

that's a lot of material right there, I'm guessing we're going to see a follow up thread with a bunch of spun deer hair for bass opener, mice, frogs, dahlbergs and such?

[Christopheraaron]

We'll see most of it is shorter, but I'll at least make a bunch of mice

[Musky or Specks]

I'll take a dozen olive bow river buggers

[Christopheraaron]
