Old honey dun

Post by Theroe » Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:31 am

Last week, I happened by a certain fly shop; who's owner is a purveyor of historical fly fishing reels, bamboo rods, and ephemera. During the course of our conversation, he mentioned some feathers I "might" be interested in..........needless to say I was interested!!
