  1. Thanks everyone! I was get ready to tye a quantity of flies in the coming winter months, I had read in A.K. Best - "Production Fly tying" - Pg. 22 second column, "Notice that I did not say moose mane hair; specifically, it's moose hair from the middle portion of the side of the neck. Moose mane is not as hollow as the hair lower down on the neck. Moose Neck hair also seems to be much stronger and doesn't break off during use, as does moose body hair or deer or elk hair." So I was just trying to find some to use in tying to see. Thanks, Revgnat
  2. Thanks for quick responses, no I am looking for the hair from the neck, not the main or body. Believe it or not it is different in density and size. Anyway, thought I would ask before - going Moose hunting! Thanks, Revgnat
  3. Does anyone know where to buy Moose neck hair?? If you do please contact me or leave email or PM. Thanks Revgnat
  4. Thanks for the comments, I do not think of it as discouraging, but as reality checks. I was thinking of a more of a small store front that had a nice selction of rods and reels, gear and fly tying materials. We will see what happens. I live in a larger city with a nice selection of streams near by. Thanks, Gnat
  5. I was wondering how many out there have fly shops they own, if so store front or Internet? How long have you been at it? Fulltime or part-time? Start up cost? How does one know what to inventory? My idea is to have a small shop handling high quality flies, materials and equipment, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would tie some and then also farm out some work to other tiers I know. I am located in the Midwest, not a lot of shops - besides big chains. Thoughts and/or ideas? Thanks, Gnat
