Jim Krul wrote an article in the Winter 2004 issue of Fly Tyer called "Cheap Feathers-Good Hackle" all about Indian & Chinese necks. The best part of the article for me was his reminiscing about Fly Fisherman's Bookcase; what a place!

I used to dye a lot of Indian necks back in the old days so I still have a few in some colors that I can't find in genetic necks. I still use some of it for hackling certain emergers I tie and streamer wings.

I can't bear to get rid of it
