Re: [VFB] Any need for Crow Feathers

[mark romero]

Pete, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Specially when it comes to 
materials. What i was seeing was a traditional spey fly, (which, when "i" 
think that, would be on a say size 2 or larger hook) and i couldn't imagine 
any feather on a crow having long enough barbs to do the job. That's all. 
Blame me for the lack of imagination. I tye a lot of the "huge bulkey wets" 
myself. Who knows maybe a crow breast feather say, does have long enoguh 
barbs to do the job on say a size 4 ~VBG~. My trouble is i'm somewhat 
"fixed" in my thinking of the flies being something for the frame as opposed 
to the water/fish. Spey's and such to me, are such art. And i never get to 
fish with them enough........so. Get your Crow feathers Bro. Even something 
you don't nessessarlily need is something you can bargin with down the road 
too. I must have two or three full ring neck pheasent skins already, but i 
just got another one today for free. Bird is still in my truck where it's 
cold because it's not even skinned out yet. Guy just shot it this morning, 
and he happened to come in the shop where i was tying today and i found out 
he had it out in his truck.........he he he. He shoots 'em all the time he 
says to me.....on a preserve where they raise them for that. He can get 
another one tomorrow, he says. HELLO! mark

Really?  I've never used them as such, and was reading that they could be 
used as a nice spey sub... if the fibers are that small, nevermind... 
thanks, but nevermind... :)

I have been known to tie speys for larger brown trout... but then they're 
more like huge bulky wet flies...
Tight wraps,
Pete
