Got around to a fly shop in a neighboring town that I haven't been to. ....lots of inventory....picked up some squirrel zonker strips...was surprised when I got home and counted the strips....4 or 5 short strips per package @ $2.45....not outrageous but for one who zonkers his own rabbit hides this seems to be a little high.
Is this to be expected?

I can see why John came up with his chenille bodied pine squirrel fly to save on material.
