Attn: Rambo, sculpin question

[BEK]

Rambo,

I was one of the WI guys staying at Mojo's house when you were tying the sculpin patterns. Where do you get your possum fur from? I got some in the mail today, but it is a lot shorter than the stuff you had. I haven't been able to find it in shops around here so if you know of a place where I could order some online that would be great. Thanks!

Hey Brian you can try to order some form
schmidt outfitters in wellston. Ray should Have some Left I usually buy the good stuff from him. schmidtoutfitters.com
or you can try great lakes Fly fishing Co in Rockford troutmoor.net tell them you tying Kevins sculpin emulator and you need the australian oppossium for the heads. if they cant get you some let me know and I will get you some out of my personal stash.
what yo uare looking for is Australian*Opossum not north american opossum. teh australian is allot softer. It was nice to meet you guys if you come back around give me a shout.
Later

Maybe I am letting the cat out of the bag. But, I find skins on eBay for around $10-$15 from time to time. Look in taxidermy.
