Chadwicks 477 Killer Bug Yarn

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

If it's "real", that would be the "deal of a lifetime"!

I did a search and don't see any "real" Chadwick's listed; someone is selling a "Chadwick's substitute".

From what I can tell, the seller wasn't selling full cards, but 1 meter-long pieces. At least this is what's showing up in the archive of sales for "Chadwick's 477".
