Nice...you have a lot of talent and must like to keep busy working with your hands on Dune Buggies and now making Fly Fishing baits! Idle hands are the devil's workshop and your hands are certainly not idle! :thumbup: :) :angel: Ma Betty

deer hair makes dandy floating flies (deer hair is hollow to act as insulation for the deer in cold weather). Squirrel tail makes good wet flies. Mepps spinners that have hair around the hooks contain squirrell tail hair. The company that makes mepps buys squirrel tails. If my memory is correct that company is in wisconsin.

I tried that once and I actually loved it when I was younger. BUT I never mastered fly fishing. By the time I got done whipping the fly around there was only a hook left!! Glad toe poor thing wasn't real.
