Yes,
this is it, the original, the genuine thing, the Wild
Cat of Australia.
This
creature looks a bit like America's Bob Cat or Lynx.
The
creature is a wild crazy 'thing' when cornered and best
shot or trapped, but never, ever handled while alive,
because it would rip you to little pieces !
And
kills everything, all small to medium sized birds, mammals
and anything else it can get its claws into, its just
a nasty wild rotten bar........d !
Now
the best thing about Australian Wild Cats, is it makes
fantastic flies, flies for both saltwater and freshwater
use, from the whiskers, great tails on caddis and mayflies,
to the body, zonkers suitable for both fresh and saltwater
flies. Or just a upper wing from any body hair/fur.
What
a great way to recycle this nasty bar....d ?
The
facial hair, perfect for most rope type dubbing, with
a almost hard spiky feel, the ears a short hard like
hair even better for dubbing, rope style. If you thought
that a Hare's mask made great dubbing, wait till you
try Australian Wild Cat !
The
tail, endless uses.
The
body with its fine hair, why not buy a body and cut
your own Zonker strips or dye it to suit your own special
patterns.
Body
hair length, on average, because the under side of the
body, the belly is always longer is about 28mm, while
over the back is 25mm.
All
skins or parts there of are soft tanned and suitable
for both local tiers and Export.
The
hair on the face is like the hair on the paws/feet of
most creatures where it is a different type, its just
wonderful for spiky type dubbing.
The
body, a type of grizzly type of fur, great for streamer
construction of wings for most flies including Salmon
flies.
Because
the hair, on the body is soft without a hard memory
it moves with a almost swimming action, all of its own.
