On another track I read the other day how the ladies fashion jewelry industry is putting a run on high end chicken feathers aka premium dry fly necks to the tune the fly tying industry from big time operators like Montana Fly Co. down to your basic winter bored fly guy just wanting to spin up a few favorite patterns is getting a bit antsy at the eventual outcome...read shortage. For the uninitiated in the audience premium, i.e. # 1 necks currently go for $60-70 or more...of course you can tie a passable fly with lower grade hackle but then there are those of us so far over the edge...well, hell, perish the thought, eh?
