Welcome to old school.

There was a time that we didn't have long genetic hackle to tie with, just ordinary capes, you just have to sort more.

Fashion tied your fly?

They pose a danger to your harness system too.

Good comment on the PFDs Jay, as for camping in the city stretch remember the cops do have a bot and may spot you.

One of those great things that where conceived over a fine dram of Glenfittich in a fishing lodge.

He He still have some Woodwards tinsel. You know what I would do is just air everything out. If you have a garage you can just place stuff out of bags on on cardboard and flip it once a week for a month or so, should air it out. Once out of an enclosed area it may freshen up. If not you may have to treat eh skin with borax or wash feathers and fur.

Mink works really nice

Hair wing Blue Charms that are going back east. Larger tags than normal on these.

Careful withe the Silica, it will also over-dry feathers and fur and can make things like deer, elk hair and hackle stems brittle.

Just listen to this and carefully repeat. Tom Mabe

Have some poacher bucks to spend this year again myself.

Latest ties,

Bird and animal skins often have a smell. It will only go bad if not properly dressed in the first place and them fairly soon after that. If they're really old it should not be a problem. I have materials used my my Grandfather some have to be well over 70 years old that are good. Your could always hit the back of the skin with Boax or salt to soak up more moisture. A bit of Baking soda will also help to cut the scent. I'm getting old but don't smell to much

You're right about the financial state of seniors, something that many forget, unless you a blessed to have a corporate pension, things can be tight and often a decision between a luxury like a fishing license (if it became law to purchase one) and food is not a choice. I take out a few seniors who really enjoy fly fishing but even the gas expense is too much for them on a more than limited budget. Of the 4 seniors that I fish with here and a couple on BC, all know the regulation off by heart incidentally. Part of the fishing routine is getting the regulations no matter hat age and parsing it. Much like the old Sears xmas catalog.
