syncmaster Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussC Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiceman2 Posted October 6, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I bought a bunch from Glenbow http://glenbowflyfishing.com/ A1 service from a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regdunlop Posted October 6, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 7, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
