Re: [VFB] mink fur?

[mark romero]

Henk, i've got a friend in Philly, (actually i think he may have moved to 
N.J.) who makes a really nice Mink Nymph. Try using the underfur for the 
abdomen, and the gaurd hairs for the thorax. Rib it if you like, and make a 
wing case out of just about anything, turkey, pheasent tail, whatever. He 
may also use some of the qaurd hairs for a tail also, (?). I haven't seen 
the fly in over a year. I think it's basically a case of being confident in 
"any" fly. If you believe it'll work, it will......... long as your 
presentation is good. mark......

HI Everybody,

My father-in-law found some mink stoles at an auction and picked them up 
cheap. He sent them to me assuming I could tie some flies with them. The 
fur looks to be in good condition. So, anybody know any good mink 
patterns?
Tadaa... the Minkie. basically a bunny streamer with mink zonker strips.
ANy decent UK site should have a pattern description...
