Default Big Y Fly Co, yeah or nay?

I have tried them a couple of times and was wondering what people
thought of their quality?

Their prices are awesome, about $.52 for a beadhead nymph, and $1 for a
steelhead fly.

My experience with the quality has been between OK and awful. trout
sized PTs are tied decently, but I have had problems with hooks
breaking, especially on prince nymphs. Alot of hooks breaking! And I
got caddis poopah that had the chenile tied down with thread instead of
wire. That is really bad, but in all fairness that was the only
experience I have had with grossly negligent fly's.

On a positive note, they give you something like a %10 credit on what
you order, that you can use on future purchases, and if you buy
something like $35 worth of flies the shipping is free.

What have other people's experience been with the quality of the fly's?

You probably wouldnt want to use them for fishing trophy fish in Alaska,
but when you live right on a stream the price is definitely right.
Quality? Between horrible (only on one occassion) to not so good (you
notice certain flies hook will break off more easily) to ok (the hooks
dont break and the flies are tied right.

Maybe the flies I got were from a bad batch of hooks? What has other
people's experience been with them?
