Recently there’s been a lot of the Mallard Boa on eBay, and a couple of the auctions have the color listed wrong – it’s mallard, but listed as brown.

I’ve laid in a goodly supply – and am happy to share, just drop me an email (address listed on the “About” page.)

Frank,
Here’s my e-mail address:
dmerical@snyder-associates.com

I’d be happy to sell you a skein of the Mallard boa yarn if you want one.

However, if you just want a couple yards, I’m afraid I’ll have to send it free of charge. )

Let me know what you want, and send me your mailing address.

–David

I used brown Boa last week in a streamer and did well on trout. I have a skein of it and plenty to share. I am looking for a couple yards of Mallard or even a skein. Anybody want to swap or put me onto some?

Ah, thanks! I’d been searching about 1/2 the day for some, and finally found that same source and ordered some right before I read your response.
Now…I just hope it shows up. I’m sure my lifetime supply would be about 1 skein, and now I’ll be getting 10!

I’ve already got several other colors, including that yellow/orange one, plus the mink, chinchilla, and silver fox colors. Great stuff! Rick Zeiger had sent me some of his Boa Yarn Leeches early this Spring, and I caught plenty of bass, bluegills and crappies on those.
I really like the looks of your crayfish-imitator “Little Stinking Olive”.
I’ll tie some up and give those a try locally next season, and I have also tied up a few of Sister Carol’s Grass Carp Flys but so far I’ve had to use alternate material for that.
I didn’t hook up with any grass carp on my fly rod this year, but did catch some decent carp, including 2 over 8 lbs, and a 32″ 16lb jumbo (my PB). Carp are a blast on a fly rod!!
I caught most of them on fuzzy hex nymph flies.

Thanks again for responding!

dude, mallard has been out of production for years. Either eBay it, or trade KB for it with some goodies. Luckily enough, I was able to score a couple skeins from the good man himself.

There’s a fellow with 10 skein bundles for $32, it appears he has over 100 skeins.

2 for $5?
I’d pay that for 1 skein! I’ve been looking for the “Mallard” Bernat Boa yarn all year.

Can you clue me where to get some?
Much appreciated!

Thanks for the offer Keith. I’m not sure if the carp would hit up a fly like that over here.
