Any ROFFians need bucktail or deer hair?

With hunting season upon us, I have a few extra tails and a fair amount
of hair. Does anyone need any? If you want it "au natural," it's
free...if you want me to process it for you, it's $1000.00USD a tail and
$1000.00 a sq, in. - IOW, it's free, you process it. I'll freeze and
microwave it to kill (hopefully) any critters, but you'll need to bone
out the tails and tan the hide. Actually, if I have the time and
inclination, I might split and bone the tails _only_ while I'm doing my
own, but please do not expect it.

Let me know via email,

Mtns . . . if anyone wants a patch let me know and I will send after

I learned a lot about Beavers this summer as I fished Poindexter Slough.
It is a lovely spring creeky few miles of water that is suffering badly from
the effects of their damn damming ( and dewatering and ag- silt from locals
that don't give a **** ). In an area with the Beaverhead bringing in
billions of anglers to play bumper boat fly fishers and the Big Hole doing
likewise, Poindexter seems to have few local friends even though it has the
potential to equal Silver Creek or the Paradise Valley creeks in quality. I
tried to get the local fly shops interested in starting a "Friends of
Poindexter" organization, would do so myself if I felt I could effectively
from such a distance.



TIE more flies with Beaver fur ... buy the fur from Dillion, Mt. trappers

Dave,
Is that Mountain Beaver as in Boomer (Aplodontia rufa) or Beaver as in Bucky
Beaver (Castor canadensis). I'm sure that most roffians (ala Larry's
response), or most people not from West of the Cascades in OR, WA or BC,
assume you are talking about the latter beast and have no idea what a
Mountain Beaver (aka locally as Boomer) is. If you are talking about Boomer
skins, I'd like a patch. I have plenty of Beaver patches.

A good friend of mine in MA spends a few weeks each year fishing
Poindexter. He began fishing it with his father many years ago. I have
seen many pictures, and it looks like a great place to fish. He has
mentioned the problems there as well. His first name is Marty, in case
you might have run into him.

Here's my week there last summer ( I fished other places too ;-)

One thing I noticed was that ALL the people I ran into fishing the creek
were from ' far, far, away' .... none locals ... they float the Beaverhead,
literally bow to stern at times so one could walk from boat to bobber to
boat This was my second trip to Dillion, the first about 5 years ago.
Poindexter had gone way down hill in that 5 years ( mostly all years of near
record drought, I should add ) but it could be a truly world class dry fly
fishery. Sadly, the fly shops all treat it with little respect since their
big "Hire a fi$h pimp and hi$ boat from u$" income lies elsewhere and
Poindexter only appeals to real anglers not the boat and bobber set G

For the buginterested out there ... I later decided that the tiny 'Tricos'
mentioned were actually probably Caenis hatching from nearby standing water
areas apparently dug out to provide earth for overpasses. The Spinners
were falling on the creek but I'm nearly certain they weren't being hatched
there and, as mentioned, were Caenis not Tricos

I never got around to changing my report after collecting some samples and
comparing them to my traveling collection of entomology references .... I
tap out the report each day ( well most, some never make it ) on my laptop
but almost never go back and edit for badly grammar, wrong speilling or bug
errors

Marty is about as real as they come. His passion is dry fly fishing,
and he mainly fishes "The Slough" during the PMD hatch. He does fish
other streams in the area, but The Slough is by far his favorite.
