I don’t use bristles in my flies but would be interested to try. Where do you take the bristles from and I will ask him if he will get some for us. Let me know and then leave it with me.

Walker570 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 There are a number of different texture bristles from belly to nape of neck on a big old boar hog. I will send Billy a selection and he can then choose.. Javelina are very stiff and ideal for those big patterns where you only really need two or three feelers, shrimps for instance.

billytheghillie Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Many thanks to Nev ( Walker 570 ) for the boar and javelina bristles. Found some time to rattle a couple up. I dyed the boar yellow and the javelina orange, and they took the dye well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
