reevesr1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Stopped by Hanson's at lunch today. They are clearing out their dry flies. I bought 2 dozen assorted Caddis and 2 dozen assorted humpys, yellow sallies, hoppers, and some other dries for $20 per two dozen. He had like 15 packages of caddis and I don't know how many of the other assorted. These usually go for like $2/fly I think, so nice deal.

timehh Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think Wholesale has them for something like $12.00/ dozen. The Canadian Tire selection is a little weak, but I've never found the quality of their flies to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 TimEhh, We are talking about a different quality of fly here. I buy from Wholesale sometimes as well, but these are a much better quality. Hanson's is clearing inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanson's is clearing inventory. Thought this was the same thread as the buying flies thread. Sorry rickr. I understand that the flies at hanson's are tied on site so I'm sure the quality is very good. If you're looking for decent flies at a good price you can't go wrong with either Wholesale or CT. That said, I understand there a few sponsors on this board providing flies, it's always good to support them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He buys them (as I believe most of the flies at the higher end shops do) from quality suppliers. <$1 a fly is a sweet deal on these. I completely agree on the need to support the guys who advertise on the board. I've bought from Glenbow (for gifts) and loved them. I'll probably get a bunch from Ickyflyworks this spring when I need to stock up (until I get better, $2 a fly from the local shops is a bit pricey as often as I loose them).
