The Cookshill Game Skin Range
Our full skins have been widely acclaimed in the Fly Tying magazines as being the finest available. They are produced from birds individually selected for feather quality. They are superior to similar products available in the UK and USA and give the fly dresser a unique opportunity to select exactly the right feather for the job in hand. They are of particular interest to dressers of North Country Spider patterns and also the more innovative fly dresser.
Items can be seasonable and only available at certain times of the year.
