Smile Cooperman

We had Steve Cooper as our guest speaker at the Guild meeting last night.
That man knows how to skin, he demonstrated on a Magpie and a Jay and unlike my attempts the skin was in one piece with none of the body attached to it.

He also came with his mobile shop and all I wanted was a piece of White Deer hair but I seemto have ended up with a few different in the bag by the end of the evening.

How do I use Icelantic Sheep? the fibres have to be at least 5in long.

Thanks Steve a most enjoyable evening.

Dick

Dye it black and tie some collie dogs.

I got it in Black,Orange and Yellow , was thinking of Pike flies but I think it might hold the water when wet making the flies awkward to cast!!!
