source for buying quills??
TyKo wrote:
Hello, Is there any place I can buy quills for tying dry fly bodies? I've recently picked up a couple of A.K. Best's books. It has sparked my interest in tying quill bodies. However, I'm not sure that I'm into buying hackle, stripping quills, dying them, etc. In fact, I'm sure I'm not into it. I know it would offer me exactly the sizes and colors that I'd want, but it just doesn't seem practical in my situation, and I don't plan on tying that many flies w/ them. But I'd like to give a few flies a try. Are there any retail soureces available?? Thanks, TyKo Ive bought from a cople of online shops. You can find some of them by going to google.com and search for 'fly tying quill' or follow this link to mrfc.com (no affiliation but Ive used them in the past and have been satisfied with their service): http://mrfc.com/search_results.asp?t... ch=fromSearch |

I know Cabelas and Hunters both list them for this year. I believe they are distributed to fly shops by Spirit River in packs of 25. Richard Fortuna |
