    Hi Paul &#38; All,
   </div> 
   <div>
    &#160; &#160; In former times, when I had time to tie flies and fish, I found a wet fly which looked ugly and made by winding a Grouse feather (from the back I think) around a hook and tying it off (no tail &#38; no ornaments) worked great for trout in shallows of lakes with wave action.

      Hi All
     </div> 
     <div>
      A few weeks ago I was driving and saw a road killed 
     </div> 
     <div>
      grouse laying on the pavement. It was a dark bird and I thought
     </div> 
     <div>
      Spruce Grouse but when I went back it was a Ruffed but dark feathers.
     </div> 
     <div>
      I thought it would make some nice flies for my trip to Mud Lake next spring
     </div> 
     <div>
      so I took it home and hung it in the wood shed till I was able
     </div> 
     <div>
      to make some Breadcrust flies. The trout at Mud Lake should like that.
     </div> 
     <div>
      Anyway I looked a few days ago and I have a Grouse skeleton and a very
     </div> 
     <div>
      happy looking Squirrel! She was kind enough to leave me some feathers
     </div> 
     <div>
      but I need pick them up.
     </div> 
     <div>
      And here I thought squirrels ate nuts!
     </div> 
     <div>
      Enjoy the winter
     </div>
