I have several speckled trout skins. Not sure if they would work for you. They are all green and in my freezer. I would have to thaw and scrape and dry them. I haven't even had the chance to use them myself yet. Let me know.

I cleaned up some last yr, I have a set of Steelhead skins, about 20"long x 3" wide end about 2" tail end. I washed these and pinned them up to dry. I do not know how they will work. I can send you a set, all I ask in return is to let me know if they work or if I need to do anything different. I don't want to throw any away this yr if I worked them up ok & don't want to keep them if I messed them up.  Ed

DuBois will have 1st grab, just need to hear yeah or nay from him,  if he don't want them I'll be sending messages to both of you guys to get mailing addresses. Ed

Guys, I've made 3 salmon backed bows. They were Chinook
Salmon, and worked great. I have a freezer full of ling cod, halibut
and coho skins, waiting for the sun so I can scrape them and dry them

Ya I got the Chinook skins from Carson, I don't quite remember what he wrote on the package but I got them no problem.  Not 100% on the legalities
