I loved fly fishing when i was younger and Im trying to get back into it after a long hiatus. I dont really have the space or the time to learn how to tie flies. I might be willing to do some horse trading for the stuff...

I inherited a bunch of my Grandpa's fishing gear:
I have a large plastic tub full or feathers, wings, fur, thread other stuff. I also have 2 3' small cabinets with drawers in them.

I'll try to get pictures of what I have...Maybe someone can give me a clue what its worth.

Thanks,
returnee fisherman

when i get home tonight I'll try to take some pictures of all the stuff that I have. I was looking for for rods or reels maybe. I was wanting to get into Fishing for steelhead. I'm not sure i have the vice but I think i have a ton of other stuff for it though.

I would be interested in what you have that said old tying materials can be pretty much worthless if they were stored improperly.
