I sometimes wish there would be legally available feathers of more bird species for fly tying. <BR/><BR/>Feathers are incredible-really nothing can replace them.flyfishingunlimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795514777903025626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20178946.post-34511487570176821672008-02-06T18:13:00.000-08:002008-02-06T18:13:00.000-08:00Ha!

We just got a chance to visit the Raptor center, they are so many amazing owls and hawks... these two little guys are called Eastern Screech-Owl (Megascops asio), they are just as big and as similar to the Eurasia species that you mentioned Otus... Nice to know the fly from owl feathers... I did have a chance to see the Golden Eagle... I know there are some traditional wetfly Eagle patterns too : )BLUEANGLERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712978089218243324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20178946.post-74740648739507344962008-02-06T15:49:00.000-08:002008-02-06T15:49:00.000-08:00Otus scops?

Actually, all owls are my favorites :-)<BR/><BR/>There is an ancient school of fly tying in the Balkans-particularly in Bosnia-where trout flies have names of local birds... Each fly uses the feather of particular bird (jaybird, mallard, different owls, etc...) There is one dedicated to Otus scops, too.flyfishingunlimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795514777903025626noreply@blogger.com
