Bucktails

[FishHawk]

Peter how does the new crop of bucktails look for the tying season? I was in another flyshop and they said that their supply was not that great. Wonder what is causing the lack of quality. Your bucktails from a couple of years back were the best that money could buy. FishHawk

Lack of a fly fishing market I think contributes to it. There's not as much demand from the shops because there's not as much demand from the customers so the bucktails end up going to other markets for other things. But that's only speculation. It's tough to say why it isn't like it used to be.

You just have to look at Down-n-Trout going out of business. It's a real indicator of just how much the market has shrunk. That was one of the top material sources for fly fisherman and it's just gone. Too many fly shops and too few fly fisherman.

This last batch of tails was the best in some time though, with some of the best "Ray's Fly Olive" I've ever seen.

There will be more bucktails and new materials coming into the shop in the coming weeks.

Pete- Could you notify us when the new material arrives. Ron

Guys, while we certainly allow outside links in most cases, lets ideally not post direct competitors here.

Hopefully everyone can respect that and understand why.

Thanks,

Pete

Big delivery of tying materials but nothing exciting. Odds and ends colors of Krystal Flash, Flashabou, marabou, rabbit strips and crosscuts, and more.
