>His name is Patrick Jordon and he lives in Pa. His best fishin' buddie is going to
Hi Mark (and everyone else) - Patrick is AWESOME in his nymphs! He's quite creative with furs - something which few actually do, what with all of the synthetics out now. As you said, his Red Fox Squirel nymphs are something to behold, in my opinion. One material (two, if the tail and body furs are separated) is all it takes for his one of many nymphs, and it has never let me down! Very good tyer - can't stop raving about his work!! On a different (but tying- related) note, our rabbit is shedding. A lot. Like, I'm at work now, picking clumps of shed fur off my shirt, and I wasn't even on the same FLOOR as the rabbit this morning! Anyone who wants reddish-brown- tipped with grey 'stem' guard hair from a rabbit (looks like red- fox squirel, only longer and less stiff/ 'fluffier') that is obviously off the hide, but in clumps (you MAY be able to get it to stack, though good luck) just write me with a snail-mail address. For the curious, he is a 12 pound 8 ounce New Zealand breed rabbit - and they can get bigger than that! So anyhow, free fur (off the hide) for the asking. Currently have 1 and a half 1-gallon freezer bags stuffed (yes, compressed and all) with the stuff. He's shedding his winter coat now, so the guard hairs are a tad longer and thicker. Well, I have to get into the lab now - off to work... Tight lines, Pete
