Dear all,
To help you all get the hands on the "real stuff" I have taken the liberty to translate a section out of Håkan Norling's Swedish catalogue over tying materials. Håkan is the nestor of contemporary tube flies and has inspired many, including his good friend Frödin, to develop tubes into the deadly flies they are. His "Temple Dog" series are modern classics!!
Håkan is an artist and giving his contact details off has little with commercialism to do - please forgive me for doing this - but it is more beneficial for us users that what it is for the man himself.
He is sitting on limited quantities of excellent Arctic Fox (dyed by himself). Write him a nice mail and keep you fingers crossed. If he sells, it only is of superior quality.
