I could tie alot a flies with some of them feathers ;D
My son my neighbor and I all have permits for the late season may 4 till end of may. I'm sure there will be more I will post something if someone gets another one. I don't think there's anything illegal about that. I will do some research on preservation to send whole skin. Might be as easy as borax but will find out . I just plucked a bunch of feathers off from one I been using them for years.

Big guy...I have lots of tail & wing feathers.  If you would like some send me a PM & I'll get them in the mail to you.
Watch it Big Guy. Postage on a mess of feathers could be a killer.  ;D ;D ;D

My weapons of choice for gills. The small one on the dime is finished with maribou that gives them nice swimming action. I tie it on a tight knot to keep it horizontal and fish it without bait. The others are fished vertical with just a spike. You can see a couple of them have a turn or two of hackle on them and that kind of slows them down and dampens the movement. I just didn't have any horizontal ones finished that are in the house they are in my fish trap in attic of my barn. You can see the colors are endless these are just a few of what I make.

You guys are just going make me dig out my fly rod. Haven't had it out in two years I'll probably hang myself with it. Got some fly's tied but there not that pretty but like R G said they just work . If it ain't broke I don't fix it . I use a lot of brown and deep red to imitate ant's got some big trees that seem to shake ants on the water on some of the better lakes I fish . They fish just can't say no to them .
 Nice looking flies guys.  RP

Don't mean to get this off topic again but talk of turkey feathers makes me want to tell you guys that I make Turkey Wingbone Yelpers from the wingbones of course, lol. A friend who's gone blind now showed me how to make archery fletches from the primary wing feathers, I just haven't really tried it yet. I keep them in the freezer for the day I'll try. Friends bring me the wings and I filet the bones out for the calls and save the primary and secondary feathers in the freezer. My calls have a scrimshawed turkey wing on them. I wish I had photobucket; but I guess it doesn't work with mobile phones now. I had it on my desktop computer but don't have that hooked up to an Internet provider anymore. I just have the iPhone now. I know guys say it's just a story w/o pictures but I'm not BSing anybody. It's kool all the things you can make from the game we take. Gotta figure out the picture thing one of these days. I had a d**n sleep study last night or I'd have gone hunting today. Now walleye opens at midnight tonight, so not much sleep again tonight. I'll hit Otisco; but it usually takes a long time to warm up there. Don't usually see the alewives until close to memorial day. No alewives = no walleyes   :'(

It can be done from I phone just go to full site off Internet. Then just use directions . Believe me I worked with dirt and rocks and big steel my whole life . Pretty much all I know but did hack my way through the picture thing. I do have wing bone yelper just don't know how to use it either.
Good thing I could shoot and catch fish or I would starved to death. RP

Those sleep studies suck, thirty wires hooked up all over your body, get all tangled up in the night.
I've done two of them, one with the mask where I quit at 1:00am and went home, rather not get any sleep at all than have to wear that freekin thing!!!  >:(
Good luck Dug1898.

I study sleep every night for about 7 hours. I think I'd rather be fishing.

Not panfish exactly. But they look pretty good in the pan anyway  ;D


Found some bigger trout today. Decided to keep a few for a friend. I think I lost 4 that size and one bigger trying to land them without a net. I gotta get a trout net for the stream.

You're right that's where I fish, and those studies do suck. I walked out of the first one too 5 years ago. I just went through electric Cardioversion to put me back in a normal rhythm. It worked! And was a real shocking experience, lol. Dr figures sleep apnea is one of the causes of Afib, so I need to do it. Just a real PITA.
I'll look into photo bucket again, thanks for the tips. Maybe I don't try long enough at Otisco. I'll go tonight with my HJ14 Tennessee shad and try if I'm not dead from lack of sleep. If you see a guy sleeping on the rocks, that'd be me lol usually I'll go at sunset and ck the temp and look for good signs, then split if no action. I know the come in waves or spurts throughout the night, just hard to stay w/o some action.
