Bill-
Sorry to bother you with this, hope you don't mind.
I've been looking for this stuff and can't seem to
find it. Can't find a website for Montana Fly or
Henry's Fork Hackle either. If you can let me know
some way to get hold of these guys, I'd appreciate it.
I'm real interested in trying some of the CDC hackle
and some of the winging material, too.
Thanks and good fishing.
