Hey all,

This is mainly to show Hamish what I got but thought I would share it with everyone.

Got some CDC packs, 2 Cock capes and some thread. All TOP NOTCH quality.



Look at the cape, much better that the other one I have which is running out, alot more usable sized hackles on these. Always run out of the small ones :s


cheers

I managed to get a Black, a Cree, a Ginger and Greenwells Metz capes for £10 each :) I can get around 4 flies per hackle, more on the smaller flies..they are superb! :) They are so fine that the smallest ones will do a size 18 with no problems and down to size 20 on some hackles.

The joys of closing down sales :)

Aye, I've bumped into the Cookshill guys at a couple of shows and it's very difficult not to spend any cash on their stands  :wink
Quality materials, never been less than impressed with their stock and always helpful  :z16
Pleased they sorted you out OK  :cool:
