The thot plickens... .. I finally convinced "my buddy": the only thing I was really interested in trading was photos of dead presidents. Though (and remember this guys is an "avid fly-tier") I sent him a pic of my favorite squirrel hair fly and ask if he'd send pics of his ties - just because I like tying with squirrel hair.

"I haven't tied a lot with them, but was planning on starting to."

You can probably get (easily) 20 flies out of a squirrel tail.. he has 85.. and he doesn't tie with squirrel.. anyone have any Vaseline? Swears he's sending a check.. It's been an experience.
