Great info - for this lazy, lousy tier.

And I wanted to reiterate what WB said about supporting the local fly shops.  Always buy 6 or so local flies, tippet, a couple leaders - or that shop may not be there next time.
Stalk softly and carry a green stick.

With the view count of this thread pushing 10,000 it seems quite a few people are looking to get high quality, low cost flies.

Just a quick note on this. Some friends in NY who knew my gear was stolen got me store credit with flyshack.com for Xmas. I used it and was not happy with what I received. Some of the stuff looked worse than what I tie myself... and that is bad!

Have you ever tried TheFlyStop? I bought quite a few of their trout streamers and have been very happy. They are just as good as any I've seen at a fly shop and hold up very well.

FC,

I'll check em out. Over the years, I have bought from a few of the ones mentioned i n this thread. Like many already said, I always hit the local shop when I am on the road because I believe in doing what I can to keep small business alive.

Here's the streamers I was telling you about. You can judge for yourself. They were at the time $1.50 a piece. I think they are $2.00 now.

Funny. On the front page this thread appeared to be titled, ' where can I get high...' I was curious.
It's all shit, piss and bliss.

Anybody every try this store for flies http://www.perfectflystore.com/

They also happen to have a number of sister sites like this http://www.flyfishingsmokymountains.com/

that have a crazy amount of seemingly up to date information.

Website seems out of date technologically but otherwise in business.
