syncmaster Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 anyone ever buy flies on line? I have seen a couple of sights where you can buy flies an the price looks preety good as opposed to buying retail. those who have (I dont tie flies though I may have to at the rate I lose them) what srot of experience have you had? Is the quality good, are the suppliers reliable? any recommmneded sites to buy flies from? If you buy larger volumes (say a few on line forum members Hook up to share an order) would anyone be interested? thanks Quote
RussC Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Bernie I know a few people (including myself) have purchased flies from an online company called Icky Fly Works. http://www.ickyflyworks.ca/catalog/index.php The quality seems good and very fast service. Give them a try I don't think that you will be disappointed. Best of luck Russ C Quote

theiceman2 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 The only time I have ordered online is for specilized nymphs or very realistic stones that I couldn't find locally. Check out robs realistics below, they do crazy realistic flies. http://yhst-93962238211049.stores.yahoo.net/stnypa.html Quote
bigbowtrout Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I bought a bunch from Glenbow http://glenbowflyfishing.com/ A1 service from a good guy. Quote
regdunlop Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I've heard good things about Glenbow's flies. He's also a sponsor link on this site I believe. http://glenbowflyfishing.com/ Quote
Simpson Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I would definately recommend giving online purchasing a try. Retail pricing for any type of decent fly is crazy. Ebay is a good place to start....You should try to build a decent order with one seller to spread the shipping over as many units as you can. I am trying to tie more often my self..greater satisfaction! good luck Quote
lonefisher Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I buy a rediculous amount of flies off Glen great prices for quality flies..... however(sarcasm)He made the mistake of letting me start a running tab last spring I finally had to sell a kidney to pay him off. (sarcasm) Quote
