    Default I need 1 source for some material


    I haven't found 1 place that sells all the items I am looking for.

    specifically I am looking for maribou and hackle feathers for large wooly bug jigs in grizzly colors.....white, brown, olive and gray. I have not been able to locate the color selection in one place. Any help is appreciated.

    Being a fly tyer and having looked before doubt you'll ever find all of it in one place! Most places carries what sells the most, but what do you consider large?? (size) - and even if you find all the colors you'd have to call and see what size it ties to. white would be natural grizzly, grey you'd be looking at dun colors and there are a lot of different shades. When you put in grizzly it makes it even tougher. and then even worse depending on brand you might not like the price.

    Depending on the size you want to tie you could check here Whiting Farms Dry Fly Hackle it's Jims Fly Shop and I've talked to him a lot over at Fly Anglers Online. You can get the natural grizzly, grizzly/brown, grizzly olive, and the grizzly dun but it's close to natural grizzly, these would be full capes or saddles. Call the shop to see how big they tie to.

    Wooly bugger packs would be great IF you could find all colors in one place. Same with the grizzly maribou - only one I know of is the mini grizzly marabou and you'll hit the same problem not everyone carries all the colors your looking for.

    Craig-- If you are going to order from them be sure to get some "Awesome Hair" flash material. It is the cat's meow and I use it for trout, bass, carp, and panfish patterns. It can be used as dubbing or streamer flash. It is the real deal good stuff. That is the only place where I can find it.

    Tight lines

    You should try some of the larger kind of shops along with Crazy Angler, like these....

    Bob Marriott's Fly Fishing Store: Fly Fishing & Tying Gear, Equipment, Travel & Apparel

    JS Fly Fishing: Fly Tying, Rod Building and More

    If you have a tax number there are other places like Hareline Dubbin or Sprit River and there are plenty of places out there.
    hareline.com
    Just also know that Hareline uses Saltwater Neck hackle and not the regular 3" to 5" stuff WAPSI does. Of course if you have a store front and a retail outlet there is always WAPSI, but you have to have a brick and mortar store.

    Peak Vise Dealer
    Tying Materials, Chenille and Hackle
    For Pictures of my Crystal, Nylon/Rayon or
    New Age Chenille Please PM Me! Also I
    have the Saltwater Neck Hackle and some
    colors of Marabou plus other things!
