Woodchuck Swap
There are 4 signed up for this swap, and room for 8 more.
Woodchuck fur is used in many patterns originated by Fran Betters.
In the book The Selective Trout, by Swisher and Richards, woodchuck hair
is mentioned as a good wing material for hopper patterns.

The pattern I am offering has been productive on bass and panfish.
It uses woodchuck in a pattern originally called squirrelly. I have
renamed it Route 206. It was on Route 206 that the car in
front of me met the fur "donor".
If you would like to participate and are looking for a source of
woodchuck, it can be purchased on line at
http://www.linesend.com/00/hair.shtml
or I will swap a patch of woodchuck or rockchuck with you for another fly tying material.
