Mike G Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just curious, what do you use the brown hair for.?You know what I mean, that brown band that runs down the center of undied white bucktail or the dark hair that occurres on died tails. I haven't figured that out. Make it a contest. Submit your suggestion in writing, or pictures or both formats. The winner TBD by me will win a prize TBD by me. Lets uuse our idle Covid time productively. Deadline April 30, 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich mc Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 does the shiny thread go long or shortwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted April 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 So far the contestants are tied in a "dead" heat. The rules allow the contestants to elaborate or add more uses for the hair in question. I also have some insights to add. Based on them I might award yhe prize to me.

Rob G Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I have also used it for the top wing of small Clouser Minnows, but because the "brown hair" isn't very long it does limit the size of the fly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colindanenberger Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Brown part that comes from the buckatil. Even if died is good for tails, wings or shucks on meny types of flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich mc Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 thanks mike for the ribbon.it turns out the shiny material is lengthwise, which allows me to make longer lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
