Thumbs up eel skin for making seatrout flies - elver flies etc

Hey guys,
I got some eel skins, they were traditionally used to make elver flies for seatrout.

This is a very rare material to find these days, if anyone will make good use of it, its free to a good home

thanks

Its the smell the skin gives of it the water thats deadly for seatrout, seldom used these days due to the decline of eels.
