Hello Everyone,
As a new fly tier, I recently completed the book "Tying the Founding Flies" by Mike Valla. The book was extremely well written and full of information; I enjoyed it a lot and was surprised on how influential the Northeast region of the country was/is on fly tying innovation. I want to tie a few flies in the book, especially the Jassid fly. He mentions Jungle ****, and how it was banned. I have two questions about the jungle ****:
1. Does anyone have any information as to its rarity/ban? As far as I understand it is from a chicken in India that is nearly impossible to raise in a controlled environment.
2. Cheaper alternatives to tie the Jassid with?
Thank you!
