New2FlyGuy Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 just received an order from fishingflybox.com, and I gotta say they look better than i was expecting, I mean they probably wouldnt be sold as premium flies locally but look to be nicer quality than what the local stores offer out of their regular bins. And I paid 65$ for 100 flies delivery and all
New2FlyGuy Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I should add that delivery took a full month, but their site does say it usually takes 3 weeks to ship an order, so I was planning on it being slow
darrinhurst Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Can't beat Icky for delivery time, in my opinion. With them being local and all, you get your flies within days.
Ricinus Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I bought from Piscator Flies, Canadian tied and good quality.. http://piscatorflies.com/
Fishslayer74 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I just ended up buying a large order from TheFlyStop.com. I think is was 90 some flies for $69.00. All flies are 0.85 cents a piece and they have a large selection to choose from. Haven't recieved them yet but when I do I'll let you know how they look.
Guest Roderick Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 It would be nice if they posted where the flies are tid. A lot of the junk is tied in Africa.
Fishslayer74 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 So it took just over a week to get my flies from TheFlyStop and from just looking them over I am really impressed with the quality for what I paid vs. paying an extra $150 more if I would have bought them from a local fly shop. I really don't mind supporting the local shops and that's where I've bought most of my gear. And yes as well I don't mind paying for that odd fly that is specially tied and you can't get it anywhere else but for your standard dries and nymphs 0.85 vs 2.50 is a no brainer. I've also bought from Reelfies, Icky Fly Works, and Dave the fly guy here in Calgary and I've had no problem with the flies last season. Cheers.
