Flies

[FOD]

Now that was a post!! I like first hand information. Like you said though sportsman flies are cheap, and they dont have the greatest selections on specifics. One thing I think the cheaper flies are good for is all those "easy flies" scuds/sowbugs, pheasant tails, and many more(mainly nymphs) I dont think the materials matter too much if the flies you want to use are not dries. Plus when your fishing with your buddy and he is new to fly fishing I let them use/loose my cheaper flies...LOL But really all the quality flies are tied better, look better, and yes are MUCH more expensive!! I think they are worth it in some cases like BWO's and PMD's even stimulators/hoppers. The longer they last the less retying on new flies during hatches and windy days.

Thanks again for that well thought out and post I am sure it will help answer some Q's
