Yes, When I started making bamboo rods 14 years ago the Varnish I use was 8 97 a quart. It kept going up and now is over 15.00 a quart. Tony

As a direct result, I can no longer afford to pay these high prices and now have to settle for lower quality instead.

As time went along there were several small price increases but I tried to not raise my hackle prices. >I think it was in 2008 prices of feed jumped so I had to make my first hackle price increase. For the past 2 years feed prices have really jumped. One year ago when Lars got my birds he wanted to use the same feed I had used for many years. The price one year ago was $16.47 per 50 lb. Feed is milled on a 3 ton formula and >priced per 3 ton. Within 4 months of Lars getting the birds he informed me that feed prices had again jumped considerably. I am not sure what the price is today but know he had to increase hackle price. It is alarming but if you go back and look at prices of everything else it is all very alarming to me. Clearwater hackle is still one of the top quality hackles on the market today and is priced competitively. Clearwater Hackle still is the only supplier of JV hens. Yes you can get hens from other breeders but they are not of the quality that we want in a true genetic JV hen. Still excellent price in the JV hen because they are processed at a younger age and still give we tiers what we want/need. Clearwater dry fly hackle is one of the top dry fly hackles on the market today, if not the top. Colors available fro;m Lars is far above any other breeder. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. I am sure you will continue getting the same top quality hackle as all of you received from me >for the past 15 years. The day of a $3,500 new 1/2 ton pickup is gone forever. (I remember buying a 1967 Chev 1/2 ton off the showroom floor for $3,500 cash). > >Denny > > > >On 9/15/2013 9:09 AM, Neville Gosling wrote: > >Hi Denny: >> >> >>is is my bad memory or has the new owner of Conranch (Clearwater Hackle) >>increased the prices an alarming amount? >> >> >> >> >> >>Neville (Nev) Gosling >>Greater Vancouver >>BC Canada >> >> >>The Enbridge pipeline is a project so toxic that it brings global shame to >>Canada. >> >>On 2013-09-15, at 7:49 AM, Conranch wrote: >> >>Thanks for taking us along, fishin with you Tony.

If one looks closely you will see, basically the color is Ginger but when one looks very closely there is more colors. Why do they work?
