Just wondering everybodies favorite place to get cheap flies, or if a place exists. I don't tie my own flies nor do I want to. Nothing against people who do just not for me. Cheers, Harri

I can appreciate not wanting to tie your own because it is a heck of an investment and I put it off for years. So for now use one of the links those guys gave you or call one of the guys on KSL.com they sell cheap flies that look really good.

Remember that with cheap flies, super glue is your friend! I sometimes buy the discounted flies from Orvis, and even they sell imported "production line" flies that can come apart quickly. Put a small drop on the point of a pin or needle, and "dab" a small amount on the head where the fly is tied off. cover only the thread on the head, which is the reason to put a small amount glue on a pin first. A drop from the container is way too much. I do this with most of the flies I buy for whatever reason. Do them all at once, and it doesn't take long. Custom flies from riverside fly shops usually don't need it, but those are $2.75 and up.

I second ebay seller kjflyfish81. He always has around 900 listings on ebay and I have picked up a dozen for around $3.00 plus shipping. He only charges one shipping fee of $3.00 no matter how many dozen you win. They also do business at [url "http://www.theflystop.com"]www.theflystop.com[/url] with the average price of .65 per fly. Same shipping costs. Good quality.
