Tom S Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Spotted a huge stash on Kijiji this morning, looks like an estate situation. \\http://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/norfolk-county/fly-fishing/1232390657?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Haven't tied a fly in a while now, and it's way more than I could use in a decade. Thought I would pass it on.
aplumma Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks I know we have a few tiers on board hope they get a shot at it if they need it. Art
dave524 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks I forwarded it to an old friend via email. When I lived in Norfolk in the 70's , there was a flytying shop in either Delhi or Tilsonburg, ( old timer memory lapse ) selling materials both instore and mail order by the name " Vance's or Vance Bros." wonder if this may be related.
muskymatt Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Impressive collection. I tie but that is a little above my commitment level. Probably won't go cheap.
FloatnFly Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 wowsa.......thats a huge collection, that will go for an easy 1000
Ron Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 The contents in the desk alone is worth more than a grand.
Tom S Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Posted January 22, 2017 The contents in the desk alone is worth more than a grand. Most definitely, especially if there's some polar bear and harder to find feather capes from before they became rare/restricted. But, it's a sealed bid auction, so it may go for a good price depending on interest. It's only worth that much to the right person, to everyone else it's a pile of dead animal parts.

AKRISONER Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 my buddy picked up a huge collection...it seems that the collection had passed through the hands of a few people who had taken what they wanted and then passed it on. This is nuts though.
porkpie Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 That's some pretty serious dedication to fly tying. I have a Tupperware full of fluff for when I'm short wooly buggers for steelhead, but that guy took it to a whole new level!
Tom S Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Posted January 25, 2017 Pretty good deal here if someone wants to take up the hobby. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/hamilton/fly-tying-kit/1234052192?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
