Couple of Sol Duc variants.


One little more full with the goose and schlappen for hackle.



And the other on the sparse side with a BEP hackle.

BU - do you have real, real Florican Bustard or a substitute? Isn't the real deal extinct ala the Dodo?

I think I have a pile of the real deal actually (seriously)....I'll have to check Grandpa's stash.

$7000 a feather - friend pricing of course... rofl

I know - just messing around on the price.

But is it real Bustard or substitute? I thought it went extinct? I'll have to research some more.

Once I find the stash, I'll see how much I have and if enough - you and Coley are welcome to a couple of feathers. IMO - I wouldn't fish with them...I'd hang those suckers on the wall in a shadow box....

A quick search has proven you to be correct sir. Not extinct, just extremely rare. I'll look for my stash this weekend and report back...

This thread has some great pictures. It could use a few more.

Cough, (Salmo), cough.

If worse come to worse, Salmo, email me your photos and I will post them on your behalf. Yes, that's cheating, but perhaps the monkeys would leave your back alone for a day or two anyhow.

Microsoft camera wizard will only recognize the first third of the photos on my SD card. So I installed the Nikon View and Nikon Transfer software that is specific to my camera on the 'puter. I got two photos uploaded before it decided not to recognize any files on Removable Drive F. Windows Explore refuses to recognize anything on Removable Drive F as well.

Not only is photo uploading on PP a total PITA, now trying to get photos from my camera on to my fvcking computer has become an even bigger PITA. It's a fvcking conspiracy, I tell ya'!

So I actually took some pics that aren't half bad, meaning they are half good, at best. While I was looking for the camera instruction manual, I found it on a CD and loaded in on the computer, so now I actually know how to turn on and off the macro setting and flash. Man, this makes me long for the days of setting f stops on the ole SLR.

I'll see if Mrs. Salmo can make it work after she returns from her tennis match. She's a little bit of a computer geek.

Since I've been ribbing Sg about posting pics, I'd better step up myself.
I think a couple of them are even blurry. wink
This is a pretty simple pattern but the searun cutts enjoyed it today.

What is this? Fish pictures in a fly fishing thread? How out of place?

Looks like you had a fun day outside thumbs

Sorry about the thread violation Coley. smile
It is always nice though to sit down and wrap up a few before hitting the rack and have them produce the next day.

Stonefish,

Do you paint the eyes on that fly, or is it an add-on that you tie in?

Sg,
Those are stick on eyes that I coat them with UV cure. Zap it with the light and done in 10 sec or so. You could use epoxy as well.

BU - I found the Bustard and its the real deal. Its high quality and in great condition. However, there is only a tiny amount enough for a few flies, but you are welcome to it. I also found a bunch of other exotic stuff - jungle cock necks, lots of parrot or different colors (think colored over wings), dyed guinea fowl and whatnot. I'm going to do another closer inspection and inventory. Maybe take a few pics and post em'...

Your camera is on he way quilbilly. Check your phone for a tracking number and call me when you need to find the macro button. Let's see that steelhead Kate.

Sounds like you've got quite the stash there Nick. Tie something pretty!
