I have a couple guys saving them for me when they catch them  but I havent got any yet so we will see where that goes. I may post something on craigs list and see how that goes, if I get any I will pm ya and we can work something out. You may want to try the tradeing post too. Sorry I couldnt anwser your question I did a google search and didnt find anything good?

Couple or three years ago they were thick in one of the local rivers and we just killed them but at that time I wasnt saving the skins. I also have some guys saving me there brown and green lincod skins and I need to go pick some of those up.
