    Default HUNTER-GATHERER - Neil - Dec 02,2013

    HUNTER-GATHERER
    Recently I loaded up some of my fly tying material so that I would have what I need to tie a few flies during our winter sojourn in Arizona. As I went through the drawers and boxes where I store my various materials I was reminded of the early years when I was just beginning to tie flies. I soon realized that many of the materials that I needed to tie flies came from birds and animals that lived around my home in Michigan. It seemed logical that I could collect many of my own materials. Thus began several years of hunting and gathering furs and feathers right from the source.

    Neil,

    Hunting, flyfishing and the outdoors in general have always been one event for me. And I agree, the gathered furs and feathers are the cream that rises to the top....along with the memories.
