[quote SdDryFly] I will be moving to dubois, wyoming and fishing the wind river. they have a couple fly shops in town, with good flies, but i won't be able to find any flies under 1.50 a pop, so i figure stocking up on some inexpensive flies will get me by until I need to support the local economy, which I probably will enough.[/quote]
I used to fish the East Fork of the Wind - one of the easiest streams in the area. For me the copper nymph worked the best, followed by the wooly bugger and trudes. But you're right about the price of flies in town or Jackson for that matter. Nothing wrong with the flies from Sri Lanka, Colombia or Kenya. Large retailers like Orvis and LLBean (and at one time A&F) used overseas tiers because of price point. Quality followed suit.
