SilverDoctor Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I buy at several shops, Troutfitters, Southbow and the Fishing Hole. There are certainly a few other shops to buy tying stuff at but those are the ones I happen to frequent and like. Look for the sponsors ads here also. I also buy online for specialty things the local shops don't carry, it really depends on what you need, in the way of materials. Yes it does add up but every hobby does.

Toirtis Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well, aside from Wholesale Sports, Fishing Hole, Westwinds, and Fish Tales, I buy a number of items online (eBay, mostly), and at non-fishing shops, like Buckskin Leather (can't beat $4 rabbit skins), Beads and Plenty More (Northland Village...great glass bead selection),...and hit up hunters I know for spare fur and feathers. Craft shops also have some interesting finds for materials. It often pays to buddy-up with other tyers and split the cost on larger amounts (like 500 packs of hooks, or whole skins, etc).

Toirtis Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Always happy to swap with other tyers when I have extra of any mats, too. Perhaps we could work that into some tying meets this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toirtis Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 why not have a "Material Swap"........way better and things you can get.... Why not indeed? So, when and where should we plan this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
