Posts: 278		Jason has kindly allowed me to share that I am "over hackled' with saddles and will make them available to troutnutters at my cost. I have 35-40 or so that I won't be using for at least five years. Let me know if you are interested.

Posts: 2611		Hey Tim, what colors do you have? One can never have too many (OK, perhaps you do...).

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Picking nits here but is the ginger light or medium?

And, being saddles, are they sized for a range of hooks?

Lots of questions, but I might be interested.

tight lines from a fellow Michigander albeit south of your stomping/fishing grounds (I'm nearer the 'west coast' L Michigan area...).

I was fairly close to Grayling a few weeks back, on the Big Manistee at CCC Bridge and roughin' it at the campground. Heaven on earth...

The ginger is medium..

They will tie a variety of sizes depending on the saddle. Let me know what you are looking for and I'll see if something fits.

PM me if you would..

Posts: 663		You have had grizzly saddles for 5 years? You mean you sat on them through the hair fade craze??? Whiting is still holding on to his grizz saddles and capes hoping for a return of the hair feather fade.

Posts: 278		I never sold any of the 130 or so saddles I own. Disconcerting to me that the companies turned their backs on those who put them in business in the first place. I should say I never sold any at the outrageous prices they were commanding. I did sell a few to fellow fly tyers.
