Ask Byard if he still has any of the free 100 packs that came with the hackle gauge. If he does that may make the purchase a little less painful. ☺ Regards, Deb

I already have 2 hats, so the gift certificate seems like a better plan. :) Besides, I'm sorting all of my hackle (roughly 2 dozen capes and a dozen saddles) by hook size in an attempt to eliminate the "search for a half hour for a hackle to tie a 2-minute fly" problem. thanks everyone for the suggestions, as I think I'm going to go that route and get the Whiting gauge.

They really did a nice job designing that one. It's a lot easier to work with. Regards, Deb www.uftri.org
