Hair Feathers

The troubling trend (for fly tyers) that I posted in February [A Run on Feathers] has apparently gone from an annoyance to an epidemic problem.  The general media has picked up the story and many reports have described the feather fever, including reports coming from the friends back at Idaho Angler in Boise.  The world continues to be small, as a friend (non fisherman) commented on FaceBook about the trend, after reading an article about it in The Straits Times, the local Singapore newspaper.  The article was an AP release, and included an interview with the guys at Idaho Angler.
Despite the miles, with today's technologies, you are never really very far from home.
