The ones that come to mind for me are Hook and Hackle (www.hookhack.com) and
www.eflytyer.com. Eflytyer has lots of interesting stuff that I rarely see elsewhere. -John "hermit" wrote in message ... Anyone care to recommend an online fly tying supply shop? Thanks, Dick |

![]() wrote Ebay has some "Stores" cheap prices also. MIKE I can't recall ever getting shafted buying from an e-store. Not so with Ebay! Suggest you read the explanation very carefully and look at the pictures very carefully. Some ebay hackle I got was poorly self-dyed and faded and rubbed off while tying. I bought some Danville fly tying thread that was factory reject or 2nds that had fat and thin sections on the spools. "Stores" stuff I got is often sun faded and very old materials which may or may not be useful. No grab bag was outstanding - lot of useless stuff for my needs. Always had good luck buying marabou, hooks, chennile, necks and skins. Just be careful. Seems lots of Ebay fly tying stuff is sold by estate sellers, whole lot auction buyers and antique dealers who use non fly tying knowledge as a cop out. In 100+ buys, I NEVER received any fly tying stuff that EXCEEDED Ebay seller's description Good luck! John |
