Spirit River has some nice FL Yellow Marabou, but not easiest place to get an account with though. If you still have some of what you like Hareline will do a special order, but you have to buy like 2 pounds I think it is. I have an account with both if you want my help I can do that. Other than these I am thinking WAPSI is most of what people carry, like Barlow's and Crazy Angler so maybe need to know where you bought the stuff not so good?

Also while typing this I have one more for you, Cascade Crest and I have an account there as well.

All about I buy at wholesale except not sure about Sprit River as to how much I need buy. I do know or think Hareline and Cascade can die on special order, but with Hareline you need at least a feather from what you want.

PM me if you have more questions or email me at [email protected]

About all I know and I say that because a couple of the biggest retail places like Bob Marriott's and JS have both Hareline's and WAPSI products. I do like the shade of WAPSI more than Hareline, but probably the only thing I like better.

Might have a hard time finding the fl yellow dye - veniards fly dye is $15 (cheapest I could find) and while they have 5 fl. colors yellow isn't one of them but they do have several yellow. If Skip can't help you out and you try the dying route here's the color chart

Can you post a pic of what you're looking for?? I've seen color diffs from different companies.

for sure there is at least 2 that are very different. Hareline has some but it's pretty bright and the one I personally prefer is not as dark of a yellow as there's is. Hope I am not being confusing, LOL! The lighter shade of FL Yellow is what I really like, but it's not pale and doesn't fade fast. It's the same FL Yellow that Blakemore has used as theirs for many years. However I just looked at their colors on their web site and they are not good enough pics. If you want I can take pics of the 2 and post them or PM that to you. Just let me know.

I get mine from Crazy Angler or www.jsflyfishing.com

Thx guys. I'll post a pic in a bit.
Skip, if you can post a pic of the two shades I'd appreciate.
I appreciate the help but I'd prob be dead bf I used 2 lbs.

Totally understand that, I bought the 2 pounds when I already had a good bit, but sold a lot to anyone that wanted some of it. I had probably 3/4 pounds sold before it got to me. I will get the 2 shades in a pic today for you and post it here.
also maybe several guys would want to join in and get some with you?

Hey let me see what shade you like most and if it's the same as me I may join in with you on getting some done if we can work it out. Anyway here are 2 pics I took and just trying to show the difference the best can. Personally I like the one on the right most and if I send them a sample and they can do it I would be willing to take maybe half of it if you can deal with the other half?? I may be able to sell some of it too, but will need to know you like which one first. I think maybe I know some guys that would want some of this.

I am in if you need to get rid if some!

Big difference there Skip!!!!! I have some fl yellow mallard flank and it looks more green than yellow (got it from Grandpa Bobs).
