Decent though small,
February 27, 2013

"The dark Brown piece I recived has a resonably aggressive sheen to the dye; I am interested to see how it looks on the finished fly.
These are nice enough pieces of material though they are small. I would hazard about 2"x1 1/2". The material will certainly tie up into a fair number of flys; but I would not call the ammount generous."
