I went to the pharmacy on the way home from work yesterday to fill a scrip. While wandering the aisles waiting I noticed that I could also stock up on Wooley Bugger and soft hackle supplies. Of course, the convenience of a nearby source comes with a high price, but when you're in a bind one doesn't always have a choice.
They even have classic Salmon fly colors
Hopefully this trend will go away soon and we can get back to "reasonable" fly tying material.

Mark - yeah, I've not had to buy feathers lately (which probably means I'm behind on my tying) but finding this stuff in CVS can only mean the fad is on its way out.
DeleteHmmm, I wonder if I can get some Grecian Formula at my fly shop?
ReplyDeleteHoward - Yeah, they're called Prismacolor markers. :)
DeleteI would dearly love to see the store security cam footage of the strange chap taking cell phone pics of the lady pictures. Dude, I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to risk mockery and derision to bring the important stories to my gentle readers.
DeleteOh my.

I think this is the "jumping of the shark tank". Hopefully this trend dies a quick death.
