Is it wrong...

[Nedak]

or better yet, how wrong is it.

Just getting into fly tying.  Preparing for trip to USVI next Monday.  My 7 year old walks in my office and sees the fur on the floor and asks "are those my American Girl doll rugs?"

I told her no they were for my new flies I was tying.  One is some kind of hide the other a synthetic which I may give back.  I hope she does not notice that I also hit the craft box hard.

Now I am just waiting for my wife to find the two squirrel tails I scavenged off the golf course the other day...

While your at it, cut the tails off of some roadkill deer

Just be sure not to store the materials you gather via "field recovery" in the household freezer.  That's a deal breaker (unless the spousal unit is just as avid a fly tyer as you) or so I've been loudly and frequently warned. (more like ultimatum)   ;-)

Mark --

That's one more reason to have a separate fridge/freezer in the garage or basement -- for cold beverages and road pelts. 

Cheers,

I am sure it went over well when you explained that those weren't her American Girl doll rugs but just some hair you are using to make Merkins.

Greg:  Thanks, that's a breakthrough!  Now I know what to do with the erstwhile dormitory fridge of my daughters now resting down in our basement.  ;-) 

[namfos]

LOL!

I have a seperate fridge/freeser for my fish and roadkill too. The best fly pattern ever is the Live deer hair frog, hold the deer hair. You tie a frog to your hook with string anf hope it stays on. Bass love them!

My daughter has own fish tank - with 40+ fishes. Is it wrong for me to test my little dry flies (size 22-24) in it? I am attempting to try it but......I don't have guts...

Yes.  If you foul-hook one, you have to explain to her why you killed her pet.
