DaveMac,

Just getting into it myself. I have a taxidermist friend that will be a good source of info for me, as well as having the A.K. Best book you mentioned. It's just one more interesting part of the tying process that you can do, to immerse yourself just a little deeper, into this neat hobby.

hugefish 80 - those are some nice vivid colors - very nice dye job & also - nice fly.

Best regards, Dave S.
