I know this kind of goes against this section of the forum, but I thought it would be best to ask here. I'm relatively new within the last few years to tying flies, and I have made some definite progress but there are still lots of flies that are pretty hard for me to tie and they don't seem to work out the way I want lol. Just wondering if anyone has ordered flies online in bulk? I find going to sail and local shops very pricey, I'm not all for paying 2-4$ per fly. It is mostly dry flies that are difficult to tie for me. Thanks in advance! 

 

Cheers.

Going to order some for the fall, has anyone tried the special packs they sell? ie "48 Steelhead Selection" Seems like a good way to make the fly box a little more versatile.

I found that if you want to tie quality hackled dry flies, you need quality hackle...not cheap.
Alternately, tie comparadun dries with deer hair, or try cdc style flies... both will usually do the job, are quicker to tie, and the materials are not as pricey.

My vote goes for Artflies on Ebay. Try them out. Their dries and nymphs are unreal. Great flies. They are super affordable and located in North York.

no, go through the pages and pick out what you want, $60 gets a good selection, almost enough to fill  fly box, and gets you free shipping
