What a great name for a river. My home water is the Fish River. ...how boring is that (though aptly named).

It is a unique name for sure. If I remember correctly it has to do something about the French trappers hiding their gun powder along the river. I don't recall the reason for hiding it and no one has ever found it. Just a legend? Possibly. But legends are usually based on true events and facts.

Would moose hair be a good substitute for the abdomen?

dark moose mane would work just fine
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult
