Now that cabin fever has set-in, properly.

I got a 'coons tail and some beaver pelt. Are there any decent patterns for
the fur these critters?

Though you may have to adapt your materials slightly.

Funny that you should post that link. One of the guyz in the grounds shop
'coon hunts. Actually, numerous guyz in the grounds, carpentry, mechanical,
zones, building maintenance and other shops 'coon hunt. We got
lots-o-'coons on the property too.

Anyway, one of the fells in grounds hunts 'coons, tans or whatever they do
to the hides and ships them off to some company to sew in the inserts for
'coon skin caps, and they aren't faux either!

I should be able to acquire some bear hides before season ends too.

You can use anything to tie flies... right?

But the underfur from the beaver is probably one of the best dry fly
dubbings out there.

I had thought of that, but what about guard hairs?

Sure. Great for all kinds of "bucktail" streamers.....among other
things.

They make a great binder for dryer lint.

Damn! I've already got that taken care of. As fast as my own hair is
falling out, I should have dryer lint bound for the next couple of years
anyway :~^ (
