As a fly-tier, I'm thinking that perhaps one should have to produce a current fishing license before they're allowed to buy the feathers... That might drive up the cost and aggravation past their threshold.

That said, the feathers do look cute on some chicks...

Yup, another crisis. As a dedicated fly fisher, and sometimes tier, this can be a problem. A bigger problem though is the overlapping of prime fly fishing time and boating time. I need to find pursuits that are not so dependent on summer and fall timing.

Perhaps taking one of those cute chicks adorned with the now expensive feathers with you when you go fishing would improve a fisherman's luck with fishing..... Rolling Eyes

I wouldn't want any more attention when it comes to fly fishing and feathers. Just givig PETA another target. Just saying.
