Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} My Dog vs My Fly Tying Hobby

It sounds like you need to store your materials in a dog-restricted area of your house!  Our cats have taken a few marabou feathers, but otherwise are pretty good about leaving my stuff alone.  

Hunting season is ramping up -- if you can make friends with hunters you can get all kinds of good stuff.  I've found that MOST hunters like the idea of using as much of their game as possible and are usually more than willing to give you stuff they won't otherwise use.

When I won several necks at the beer tie, I was happy. I had seemingly everything that I could need to tie flies every day for the rest of the year. Well, the one thing that I didn't have was a good container to store my stuff in. One day when I came home from school, I noticed a bunch of green bucktail on the ground in the living room. I Immediately knew what had happened. My dog had gotten into my fly thing materials. I went upstairs to asses the damage. It turns out that she had gotten up on my desk and eaten 2 necks, several hackle patches, two bucktails, a squirrel tail, a calf tail, some strung marabou and an unused spool of thread. I quickly got my stuff reorganized into two big clear plastic containers. Well, a few days later, I came home to notice the remains of a hen hackle neck in the living room. I went upstairs and noticed that my dog had managed to open a container. She had eaten three and a half more necks, another bucktail, the rest of my hackle patches, bead chain eyes, several packages of flashabou, two packs of strung hackles, my spool of Kevlar thread, my stick-on eyes, a sheet of sheet foam and some pearl braid. If anybody needs a new hunting dog, mine is for sale, cheep.
