www.flytyingfurs.com has them for $3.50 each. Gary S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wes Wada To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 11:28 PM Subject: [VFB] Need a source for pine squirrel strips
Hi FlyGuys and FlyGals, We've had three brilliant, springlike days in a row, here in central Oregon. All signs point to an early spring and early bug hatches. Much preferred over last year, when it warmed very late and turned wintery early. It felt like our whole fishing season got compressed to July. Hope weather goes better for you. I need a source for inexpensive, quality pine squirrel strips, preferably on hide. There are roughly 15-19 cut pine squirrel strips per hide. The longest strip might be six inches long, the shortest maybe 4.5". I ordered two half skins from Feathercraft, but the order came to $21.85 including shipping. I can order full skins distributed by Wapsi through the local flyshop, but cost unknown at the moment, and probably a bit pricey. The local Wholesale Sports has some closeout Wapsi stripped full skins, but they are all a dark brown. But at $9.99 a full skin, seems reasonable. That's the price range I have found so far. Does anyone know of a quality source for DYED pine squirrel strips on hide? At a reasonable cost? Linesend.com does carry natural pine squirrel hides at $4.95, but they are not stripped and not dyed. Thanks for any info! Wes Wada Bend, Oregon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
