Strut10 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I saw a piece on this about a month ago. Crazy Californians!! The hackle feather producers can't keep up with the demand. The hair stylists will pay more for the feathers than the fly tiers. But the feather farmers know that the hair thing is just a passing fad. So they are stuck between making more money, short-term and having the fly-tiers' market for the long run. Messed up. Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
