Like said, it was the long hackles that were in high demand. Usually grizzly, and died grizzly were hard to find. And when you found them they were pricey for sure. Luckily the whole fad trend has gone bye bye, for the most part. I have talked to hairdressers about it and they said while it was a new trend they would be getting over 30 girls a day coming in for the stupid feather thingy, as of a month or so she had said that only about 1 or 2 a day are asking for the hackles.
I know a guy who had a bunch stockpiled up and was selling them on e bay for like 3 bucks a feather. Kinda outrageous if ya ask me. I just stopped using the grizzly hackle for a while. The stimys I tied up this summer worked just fine. They were not as pretty but they still did their job.[sly]
