Looking for Orvis hackle flash!!!

Please help me in my search;

I have been trying to buy some orvis hackle flash in the black, and olive colors.

Orvis is not stocking it any more.

If you have some drop me a line, or if you know of a place that still has a couple of packages in the colors that I need, drop me a line.

I am looking to stock up!!!

Thanks,
chris

apparently its not made by orvis.

Thanks Norm!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Send me you address, and when I get the material I will send you a couple of flies.

Have a great weekend,

Looks an awful lot like Disco yarn…found at Wal-Mart

Most of the yarns that I have found in the local walmart are under one inch long ( usaually 1/2 inch in length ).

The stuff that I am looking for, is one inch, or just a little longer.

It also has some very fine flash material in it.

Does this description corrispond to the stuff you located in walmart?

If so; do you have some, or a picture you can send me?

Thanks for the info,
Have a great weekend,
chris

Chris…that’s the stuff…1 1/4" long fibers…and fine flash in it…

Do you still want a picture?..I can send you a little but I’m getting low…just traded some…so I can’t help you “stock up” :frowning:

As requested:

The flash doesn’t show up real well but take my word for it …it’s there…

Could you or someone post a photo of a fly that has this flash material in it??
Thanks,
Doug

That’s the stuff!!!

Thank you so very much for posting the pictures.

Can you still acquire it at your local wally world?

What quantites does it come in?

-Doug,
The basic pattern that I use is leech;
Just wrap it up the hook shank, I tye them clouser style.
Great action, either swimming or standing still on the bottom of the river.

Sorry don’t have pics, I am a R-Tard when it comes to posting pictures, and putors.

Pretty sure they still have it…label says “approximately 52 yds”…let me know…I can check…

WOW!

That is a lifetimes supply.

Sure ,if you drop by wally world I would appreciate it.

Black, olive, and white; if possable.

Just tell me what I owe you; I can either pay by pay-pal, or send funds.

Will drop a couple of my favorite flies in the mail also for you, and your troubles.
Do you fish trout ,panfish, or bass?

Thanks,
chris

Indeed ,I was surprised just now when I read the label…sure didn’t seem like that much…guess I traded out more than I thought…looks like a big profit margin at the fly shops… :shock:

I’ll be glad to check…pretty sure the other yarn shops will have it too…

PM me your mailing address…

Trout :slight_smile:

A couple of streamers tied with the black/purple Disco Yarn.

Kirk

Thanks Kirk! :smiley: Are you using it as a topping or winding it on the body?
Thanks,
Doug

It’s just wound up the hook. A few with a tail and a few without. These are about 2" long, with small beadchain eyes.
Wally world here only has a couple of colors of the Disco yarn. The black/purple, gold, and I think the green.
I’ve wondered about maybe layering the dark over a lighter base to make a more fishy looking color. I could only get the one color at the time, so it is all I have. If you want some, PM me an address and I will send you a good chunk of it. I still have the better part of 57 yards! :lol:
