A fly for the bird hunters...

Here's a fly me and my AWS Belle came up with...

How about a picture of the dog, too!

Happy to oblige! Here she is on an early season hunt with a couple green wing teal:

BILLINGSGATE BELLE

As I hunt (and fish) from a canoe, the small size of the AWS is perfect - she climbs right over the gunnel (with help from dad) without upsetting the canoe. Tight lines! Alec

Here is my dog, also called Belle, also with two green wing teals.

Nice job Benjo! Here's what I do with some of the teal feathers - a fly in the classic bass fly style called the Andes:

Those Green Flight Feathers on the Green Wing Teal, make terrific Wings on a Streamer or Salmon/Steelhead Pattern.

Will gladly accept donations from anyone willing to mail me some. Will be willing to pay the postage. This includes Blue Wing Teal also.

What a good girl!

flytackle-That Andes fly is really good looking. Gotta admire your loyal friend too!

Thanks Rich - she is a good dog. The AWS is a super breed - smartest dog I've ever owned - but other than mutts, I've only had an English Setter and beagles, so that isn't saying much! Now, if only I could hit the grouse she flushes.... Alec
