I don't know how many of you guys remember the original Herters in Waseca Minnisota. They had a wonderful big catalog filled with hyperbole and witty commentary written by Jacques L. Herter himself. I still have some of them and read them from time to time. I ordered a lot of stuff from Herters back in the day. Some of it was very good and some was not so good. Their fly tying materials were crap but I liked their crow and duck calls. Herters was a grand old company. I even made a pilgramage to the Waseca store when I was in Chicago for a month on an auditing assignment.
