Online tying suppliers
Hi all, just wondering what good sites you use for ordering fly tying materials online. I dug up some old threads about this but they are a little dated. I'd prefer Canadian sites but I'm not opposed to american ones either

Shipping figures into the equation, so I like the one stop shopping experience. Sadly I don't know of a Canadian supplier that can do that.
So, for hooks and beads I use these guys, Canadian and a great guy to deal with. http://www.canadianllama.com/index.p...e=products_all
For everything else, or close to it I like these guys. Not necessarily the cheapest but lots of stock and seem to have to do very little back ordering. Also very good to deal with, if you use them make sure they ship USPS and NOT UPS. UPS are crocks and will ding you very hard on brokerage fees.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. My only options for tying materials where I'm at are WSS or the craft store. I've been getting pretty sick of the lack of selection and usually not being able to find what I need from them. Is there any Canadian fly shops with a decent inventory that do online orders?

Although I do buy the odd thing online, nothing beats actually seeing what you are buying. Bought a lot of junk online. Quality tying materials make quality easy to tie flies.

Those all look like very good sites, thanks!
I agree that it's nice to look at the quality of the material before you buy, however you can't always find what you're looking for, even in big centres. I'd rather just ship to Cochrane than run around Calgary and sometimes not find what I'm looking for.
