Got to watch the Cowboys now, but will look tomorrow for you. I know I also have at lead one that Don Ordes Tied with The Aussy possum. It's a lot more kinky and darker for the most part than our possum.Quote:

Let me think on that too. Oh yeah also some nails off of a Jungle Cock cape, I have several. Also some CDL which is the oldest bird bread specifically for fly tying. I have a bunch from Whiting, but also some import through Hareline.
I will see what I have, LOL! Sometimes it's confusing to try to remember all of this stuff. Oh yeah also Hungarian Partridge os good stuff for soft hackle.
