    Fads come and go. By next season they will be tying skunk tails in their hair and prices will be back to normal. In the mean time, some fly shops and fly tiers have been able to garner some much needed cash.

    It appears there is a synthetic alternative to the hackle feathers. See photo, Now it looks like they will be after our 'fish hair" and Supreme Hair!

    I know some have bought Flashabou and peacock herl also.

    When life feeds you lemons, make lemonade !! I suggest that all tyiers get rid of all their unwanted feathers NOW, while the going is good.

    Dang. The first one that sold for over $800. still has the Cabela's tag on it. It still sells at Cabela's for $29.99. People need to shop around. Jim
    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    It's time to start making lemonade from lemons.

    Next time you're in a bar, walk over to a pretty girl and ask if she'd like to see your hackle.

    When I was a kid, I just had to have a pair of "Beatle Boots" They been gone for 45 years....
    Later, we all wanted to have our hair down our backs..... now it's shaved....
    At one time it was light tan Corduroy jeans..... I ain't seen cords in a coon's age.....
    Pet Rocks ?...... some folks went down to the gravel bar & got rich.....
    Chia pets?? ....Come on now.....
    Ammo Shortages, like was previously mentioned.....
    When this goes by the wayside, they'll be something new and whacky....
    Meanwhile, like Ron says, go with wets and nymphs......................................Modoc Dan the patient
