I can not stress enough to check out garage sales and estate sales. I was able to get a grip of CDC in a ton of colors just for a couple bucks. Give it a try, most of the time I get skunked but when you make a good find it is all worth it. I got 2 bulk packs one in white and the other in dun. The barred look really cool and have some patterns in mind for that. I can tell these are at least 10 years old but should work just fine
Good find. I love tying CDC and actually planned to tie some CDC pheasant tails later today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my blog. The reel is from Ottos Fly Fishing store - www.ottoflyfishing.com
ReplyDeleteGreat drag, only about $80 - I bought three sizes to try. Love it.

Nice! I love thrift stores, and garage and estate sales, but hadn't thought about scoping for tying materials. Just starting to see garage sales pop up around here this season...thanks for the head's up!
ReplyDeleteYou said you found tying materials at sales but I didn't think they could be found so frequently!
ReplyDeleteNice Score! I too have found materials at second hand stores and tag sales.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by a "Flea Market" yesterday on the way to town. One guy had some old rods & reels plus a couple of slip bobbers, but that was it. Struck out on that one.

Tell me about it john, it is about one out of 10-15 that I find any fly fishing or tying stuff. But it is fun just to look and see.
ReplyDeleteIt is full bloom for garage sales around here right now. I can only hope I to grab some sweet scores like that. Nice thriftin. Thanks for the photo exposure:) Tight Lines.
ReplyDeleteNice score Dustin. I tried to pm you on FTF but your box is full. I have box #2 and would like you to be the next in line to see how's it's grown. Send me a pm on FTF or leave me a message on my blog if you want it.
