SV: [VFB] Finally!!!

Title: Meddelande

Deb... Yes I kind of knew this myself, as I've read it in about a zillion of places. But having the indian hackle quality (and also the indian hackle QUANTITY) in my head, the difference between them was like a comparisment between a road-kill and a gift from God himself. When looking at them lying beside eachother, it's hard to understand that the Whiting one only qualified as bronze. It sure looks gold to me... even my fiance fell down to silver.   ;)   Have a good day... /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Deb Duran Skickat: den 21 maj 2004 15:41 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [VFB] Finally!!! Nick As I understand it ....    and I'm sure Don O will add to this....   There will be no difference in the quality of the Whiting feathers from your Bronze pelt to a Gold pelt.   The difference is in the quantity of the feathers on the pelt.   You can tie more flies with a Gold grade pelt because the feather count is higher.  The feather quality will always be of the highest standards from a Whiting pelt.  So if you want a variety of colors and are on a limited budget dig through the bronze grades and you will get some great buys and the same quality!!! Deb A Whiting pelt...and this time I can look at it in 3-D. Of course I had to make some priorities this time too, so I didn't stretch further than bronze...but it sure looked good enough to me.
