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.

Re: Going Out of Business
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....

Re: Going 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...

Re: Chadwicks 477
I forgot that Letumgo sent me a sample of Berroco UAF1214, plus a few other colors of wool yarn a while back. Thanks! For those of you that were too late to get any of the Berroco UAF1214, here is a comparison of the Berroco UAF1214 vs the UAW6214. The color is almost identical, but the 6214 is thic...

Re: Chadwicks 477
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...

Re: Soft Hackles
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...
