Skunk?

[redietz]

There seems to be a dichotomy here....there are many patterns that are called "skunk" because they are black and white and what this thread is after is what patterns actually use skunk fur originally .

Many of those patterns called "skunk" are, in fact, tied with skunk. (As mentioned, the steelhead flies are an example.) Also, as mentioned above, it's been used as a sub for polar bear for decades. I usually use it for both the white and black parts of a Blacknosed Dace.
