rockworm 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2021 Many of us tyers tend to accumulate way more materials than we could ever use in a lifetime. And no one lives forever. So I was wondering what you old (and young) geezers hope happens to your fly tying stuff after you shuffle off your mortal coil. Have any of you made plans for the dispensation of those precious capes and irreplaceable Pearsall's gossamer? Consider this a practical not a morbid enquiry.
