ColdWaterFshr Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I sold a few of my extras on eBay, but I'm still a million dollars short of being a millun-aire! fly-tyers have flooded ebay with their own stash . . . the shortage has crested, and the fad soon will too. The sellers market was 2-3 months ago.
Flysmallie Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 It will probably have another surge right around back to school time and then hopefully it will be done.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 30, 2011 Root Admin Posted June 30, 2011 I don't know.... long lines at the kios's at Branson Landing I understand. $10 a feather- installed.
ness Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 My wife was talking to a friend last night who said another friend was in a Branson flyshop and the guy told her he needed to keep the hackle he had for his repeating fly-tying customers. John
FlyFishinFool Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I sold a few of my extras on eBay, but I'm still a million dollars short of being a millun-aire! fly-tyers have flooded ebay with their own stash . . . the shortage has crested, and the fad soon will too. The sellers market was 2-3 months ago. If you think the sellers market was a couple of month's ago - think again!! Look at this current ebay auction bidding;;;; http://cgi.ebay.com/Whiting-Eurohackle-Rooster-Saddle-Grizzly-Feathers-/180677642422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a113a08b6&clk_rvr_id=242363732441&afsrc=1&clk_rvr_id=246427448608&afsrc=1 and I understand that a couple of grizzly hackle saddles have gone over $900 - what a bunch of idiots! * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time. Then I remember what an old man told me... " Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown, fuzzy, about 1/2 inch long and underwater."
