Default When will we get some decent hackle feathers?

Hasn't this hair trend run it's course? The last store I was at was cleaned right out and my old capes are getting pretty picked over.

The trend has died down a lot. You need a new shop, as all the fly shops in Calgary have good quality hackle, and decent stock....have had for a few months.

I will be saving pheasant feathers for anyone that is interested... Currently I have gave them all away but can start a list for this fall.

I have more than plenty ringneck, but if you get any golden or amherst, I would love some.
