Is there a thread here about how to make feathered earrings or weaves?

Buy up all the saddle hackle you can and save the sport from fad fashion trends!

Looks like jewelry and native american fetish art isn't the only thing that is creating competition for fly tying material...

I hope that the "hair extention' crazies only use the big webby saddle hackles and none of the micro-barb variety that work so well for emergers and dry flies!

Sorry Paul, but they are using the micro barb feathers. Some fly shops have reported sales of $600-700 at one time buying the hackles. Our best recourse is to ridicule how stupid they look as "feather-heads" in public. May slow down some of them. LOL

I agree with the last line of the article...

"And we know if we see a man fishing in the river with feather extensions in his hair, we're going to throw rocks in the run he's fishing."
