JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Feathers MC for the classic stuff. http://www.feathersmc.com/ grizzly-olive hackle used to be pretty commonly available, worst case you could get a grizzly cape and dye it yourself. It isn't all that much of a pain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phg 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 FeathersMC can get you Kori Bustard, legally (very limited quantities.) BadgerCreek (eflytier.com) has most of what you need for classic wet flies. J Stockard used to carry dyed goose shoulder. Charlie Collins will be happy to dye a grizzly cape olive for you. His grizzly hackles are some of the nicest in the business.

mvendon 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Hi sniperfreak223, For classic winged wet flies, you want duck or goose quills from Spirit River. They're about the best out there as far as quality goes. Hook and Hackle carries them. Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essequamvideri 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Sniper, There is a gentalman by the name of Gayland Hachey in Veazie Maine. He has a small shop and this is what he specializes in. He loves to chase Atlantic Salmon. If he doesn't have what you need, I'm sure he would tell you where it is. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
