FlyTyer16 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Has anybody used or bought Howard hackle? Their out of didsbury and thought it would be better to support them that try and find any Metz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyTyer16 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Are they worth the money because they are kind of expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Their prices are no different than others that are out there. I'll buy from John before I'll buy from anyone else as far as dry hackle goes. Now that he has been dyeing in different colours I'm using them for feather wing flies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyTyer16 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ya I Guess. I'm just use to the $50 for a grade 2 Metz saddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I get stuff from Howard's or Pat Nolan in Ireland depending on what color's I'm looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Are they worth the money because they are kind of expensive? IMHO you get good value from his capes. His stems are also nice and small not bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserN Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I bought from them at the western flyfishing exposition. Great hackle. Cheapest price I have ever paid, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMAX Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Good product, I've been using his capes for a couple of years now and am very happy with them. Right close to home also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliesbymike Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Awesome product form Howards Hackle, Great colors and value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmomar Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I've only used their capes - pretty good for the price. I usually buy saddle / cape trimmings by request as well for paltering streamers. I find they're perfect size, nice taper, soft webbing, and affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwood Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Agree with others. John's products are of good quality. Also nice to support an Alberta producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
