Check out the whiting farms web site and see who the dealers are and call them.

Do a search on GOOGLE for cree necks.

Go back to that fly shop and buy 7 Abel #5's!!! and go to the top of the list!! HeHe!!!

Be aware the Cree Hackle is also very hard to get and fly shop owners, when they even get them in, reserve the right to sell them to their best and loyal customers or even hoard them for themselves. If you bought what that guy did, you would probably be at the top also.

You are greatly limiting yourself by being so picky or maybe your tying some museum quality flies.

1 grizzly and 1 brown hackle makes a good substitute.

So maybe you should consider the other growers of fine hackle. You may be suprised by the quality.
