Flytyer 37,

I believe that you are correct to worry about the effect of avian flu on our sport but I believe you may be looking at the wrong impact area. I don't believe that finished flies will be the problem.

I would be concerned that the major impact would be on fly tying materials. Fortunately most of our high quality capes and saddles are now North American grown. But lower quality imports, Indian & Chinese necks, pheasant skins etc could be adversely effected.

Just hope that the bird flu doesn't take root in our domestic sources of fly tying materials.
