Materials for these patterns can be difficult and sometimes maddening to locate but this should help: http://www.flytying.dk/ http://www.huntersangling.com/ www.anglersworkshop.com http://www.flybuyer.com/acatalog/Catalogue_Veniard_321.html http://www.salmonflysupply.com/ http://www.castlearms.com/ http://www.wwdoak.com/
Ronn Lucas also is a materials dealer and he can be contacted through either FlyAnglersOnLine or flyfishingforum.com. Additionally, it should be noted that Bill Bailey, a fellow VFB list member, is also producing some fine materials for the fly tyer. The materials (yarns, wool, pig's wool dubbing) are not only authentic from a physical point of view but are also authentic from a manufacturing viewpoint as well. These fine materials are dyed using the same processes and dyes that were prevalent in the early 1800s. To say the least, this is a difficult, painstaking and time-consuming endeavor but one that is believed quite necessary if one is to attain the exact hue as described in some of the old literature. But, so as to not start talking too much about something I know little about, I'll let Mr. Bailey take over from here....
