    Default Nice chinchilla pelt

    Hit the flea market yesterday and a guy who's been coming with tanned furs had one chinchilla left so I picked it up.

    Fatman, You are really stocking up on some great pelts to use. Unless you tie an awful lot of flies every year, you've already shown us about 100 years worth of fly tying materials; (which is actually about what I have as well That said, if you want to swap a bit of that Chinchilla pelt for a nice piece of Kangaroo pelt, send me a PM. I also like to try different materials and don't have any Chinchilla fur. Good luck and keep up your searching. It's great to see some of the excellent quality fly tying materials you've been finding.

    Hoping the guy shows up again this weekend - asked him if would be bringing anymore, I hope so. If I can pick up a few more I'll take you up on that. I'll let you know!

    I'd like to trade you for one of those Chinchilla pelts also. How about some legal polar bear?

    If he does, I'm very interested. Use them for my sculpins. My website has photos.
