Being one who has tied his share of flies for fishing in the past I do know that there are several particular breeds that are similarly restricted from possesion as are the eagles, which causes one to have to vary his tying materials from some of the original materials, particularly in certain wetflies, salmon and steelhead flies, and saltwater flies. Can't remember any specifics right off the top of my head right now though.
