Since putting in an order for 1400 I should be good for a while.

Gonna try Sabre hooks next time. Heard good things about them. Same price, free shipping over $45. Just have to order more at a time.

In my personal opinion, Cabela's has "gone down hill" since Bass Pro took over. Our local store used to have a very well supplied fly tying section when they first opened. Unfortunately that lead to completion with our local fly shop (Oak Orchard) and eventually dove them out of business....

BUMMER!!! I guess I'm gonna stock up on hooks... Just placed an order for 1400 hooks. I have been stocking up on hooks prior to this notice in case this happened. Prior to buying hooks here, I was getting them thru Hook and Hackle, til they quit selling them. Honestly, not sure how he could sell hoo...

Wow, those are drop dead gorgeous!

Just got my order. It is Berroco Steel Cut Oats, but not UAF1214, it's UAW6214. I didn't notice that til I got it. I guess I was hoping I hit the jackpot. Not seeing any pink in it, just tan. Not sure how this compares to UAF1214. I do have some Jaimeson's Spindrift 290 Oyster which is definitely mo...

Yes the berroco steel cut oats seems to be by far the best substitute, at least according to a really good article I've read about it....problem is it's no longer in production either and I cand get my hands on any. And no the fish can't tell the difference in a lot of cases. You can tie the same f...

Swinging soft hackles is too much fun! I really haven't tried Euro nymphing very much, simply because I have really good success with soft hackles. My go to is an Orange Partridge. I started fishing a 3 fly team this year. Orange Partridge, Tups Indispensible Flymph and a Greenwell Spider, in that o...

Very cool set, nice job!
