Where the heck can you find a dry fly neck that can tie size #6 dries? I had a customer request a #6 Slate Drake. I blinked... stammered; "What? Size #6??? Don't you mean SIXteen?"
He replied, "Nope. I want size #6."
"Umm... sir. I can try. But that depends of I can find the right size hackle for you. I'm not trying to be a smart-*** but are you absolutely sure you want a size #6?" I then pulled out a size #6 wet fly hook to show him the length.
He said, "Yep. That's what I want!"
So... anyone know where I can find a size #6 dry fly hackle? Cuz I scoured the interwebby's last night for a complete bust!
