Love them or hate them,with 40 + years in flyfishing/tying,fly shops are & always will be a necessity,walking in a shop,talking to someone,sharing a story or 2 & getting good advice on material,flies or gear,well there's something that's real,now my experience with Amazon & Ebay has been both positive & negative that's all I'll say,whenever I can I buy local & relish time spent in a shop just looking & seeing what's new,tight lines 🤙🇺🇸

Have you ever tried to buy the “hair feathers” that kids use to put in their hair? It looks like saddle hackle, but Ive never purchased them.

What’s it worth to have a manned brick and mortar shop at your disposal. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t have a shop within 100 miles of me, “It’s priceless!” Please support them whenever possible.

Being able to open packs of feathers etc. before you buy is priceless.

So far my ordered material i am very happy with the products and i save and they are made in the same country that the other materials come from and you pay more.

I understand what you are saying but i buy from different places like Temu, Amazon, Kanekalon, Ebay and Michaels. Many products are made in China, Taiwan etc. and when you buy from a fly shop those products are made in those countries and you pay a higher price so no i don't shop Fly stores and i have been successful in making Fly's and catching fish and i always remember a old timer tell me that no matter what you use and where you bought it if the fish are there you will catch if they are not then that's why they call it fishing.

The best quality buck tail I've ever gotten is from Avid Max fly shop out of Denver.

I would like to find some long saddle hackle feathers that have lots of webbing. I have 3 saddle necks bought at Cabela’s in the early 1990’s, and that’s it, never have seen anything like that in any fly shop anywhere, and now I am almost out. These are ones you might use for wooly buggers in the smaller sizes 12-14’ wooly worms and any flies where you need a palmered feather with more action than a dry fly hackle. You might laugh, but remember, those feathers are trimmed away from the edge of most saddle necks before they are packaged for sale (that’s where those feathers are found), even the expensive ones - and no, the “wooly bugger packs” are not the same thing. This is one example where availability is not like it was, even in the fly shops.

@@raywalteroutdoors Yes, but there are advantages of looking at the hackle first before purchasing, and that’s not possible unless you buy at a shop. This is a recommendation I have gotten from many other fly fishers when it comes to buying hackle feathers. But I agree, if no other choices, it could be worth a try, I do frequently buy stuff from the auction site.
