Honestly, I wasn't expecting a whole lot for 12 bucks. Like maybe a couple decent patches of fur, enough to pay for itself really. But when I opened it, I was surprised at the quality of the fur even with it being trimmings. Sure, some of them had sime bad spots, but after 10 minutes with a knife I had the bad stuff thrown away, and the good (nearly prime) stuff in ziploc bags and labeled. Then, curiosity got the best of me so i priced everything I had left. My rough math says I have AT LEAST 60 dollars worth of materials here. And lucky me, this bag contained a good portion of beaver and muskrat, two of my favorite materials for dry fly bodies. I have so much beaver, I may never need to buy another patch in my life!
