While out visiting my brother I got to check out his in-house feather supplier. Is it wrong that when I look at a chicken I only see a source of fly tying material? I know it isn't class A material but for a Woolly the material doesn't need to be perfect right? My bother doesn't tie flies but after plucking a few choice feathers from the saddle of his annoying rooster I did an impromptu tie job of half a dozen woollies. (the bird is perfectly fine so no animal rights protests please.)
I have done things like this before - see my earlier spring post of a squirrel that got caught in my chimney. For that I got some prime tail hair for streamers. Even watching my wife with some yarn and I see tying material.
So is it wrong that I see innovative material for tying in the oddest places? My wife thinks I'm nuts but seriously, I can't be the only angler out there that sees material everywhere he looks.
Is It Wrong?
