Baby seal fur makes excellent dubbing for steelhead flies.

This is sad. Isn't there a more humane way to kill them rather than clubbing them? I don't think this should be allowed.

Just a few weeks ago I cut up an old fur coat I bought at a garage sale. Stamped on the back of the pelts: "Alaska fur seal." I made the coat into a collar for a new jacket. This may be the first time in my life that I'm bucking a fashion trend.
