Fly tying materials 50 years ago?

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

At the Tower of Sports on Howe Avenue I was allowed to manage the fishing department.

Every week I ordered more fly tying materials because that is what was selling.

The general fishing tackle kept shrinking week by week.

We became the best place to go for fly tying materials.

We bought prepackaged materials from old companies like "Hackle House", "Hashes Herl & Hackle", "Buz's",

Don Fraser in Rough and Ready.

Much of what you buy today did not even exist.


Just found this today in my stash.........
