Default Kenyan Flies

Two words: Harry Mason.

Flies as good as you've ever seen, at a fair price. Don't forget to
check out the fly-tying tutorials. It's almost like Harry is trying to
put himself out of business. :-)

I appreciate that someone is employing dexterous African women for
starvation wages to tie flies for $3/dozen (retail), and trying to make
a few bucks along the way. That's capitalism. I will, however, bet my
bottom dollar that Harry's flies are better -- FAR better.

Do we really need to outsource trout flies? Dell Computer customer
support is one thing, but a quality trout fly touches your soul,
regardless of where it's tied. For a mere $100 you can buy enough flies
from Harry to last through the season, depending on where you fish. :-)
