you're in luck. I've just opened a new store selling bespoke artisinal, locally organically grown feathers. I shall post some pictures of my currently available stock once I have time to responsibly harvest some from my free-range feather growers.

Alright, I poked around a bit today and here's what I've got at the moment. I'm guessing y'all don't want bigass wing feathers, so most of the current floof looks like one of these two:





A lot of the birbs are still growing their adult feathers so I'll have more variety once that happens.

Ok, I'll start saving feathers then. Maybe I can fill up baby priority mail boxes and send them out.

Now, I've heard people both stress the "match the hatch" angle as well as the "you're better off using anything except for matching the hatch since you want to offer the fish something different to bite since they're used to the hatch." There's no shortage of contradictory advice and information out there in fishing world, but this is very much something that people have strong opinions about. What's your take on this, keeping their fugly fly preference in mind?

It seems to me that you would want to match what they're feeding on, but add a little extra for attention. Like if you're throwing a shad look alike, maybe add a small spinner to set it apart.

The pond was like 80% frozen over. I only caught one fish and it was a frickin' bass.

this looks like a question for THE BLACKSMITHING THREAD -

anyway, yeah you'd make a stamp out of hardened steel and then it would be pretty easy to make a scale pattern in brass

Those senkos look 100% like they came out of a $8 package of yamamotos.

I need a 2-6oz jighead shaped like a nice ballsack and a soft lure penis to go with it. I swear to go this old man brought one a fishing trip i just went on. It was simply a purple tube. First thing I said when I saw it was "That's a penis" but he couldnt hear me.

he was just ignoring that weird dude on the boat that kept trying to talk to everyone about penises lol
