Fly Ordering

[sedubius]

Does anyone order bulk flies from overseas? I'm looking for around 100 doz or so and would like to buy from Kenya or someplace like that. Who do you use?

Check out the site: Peter Fishing Flies Kenya

I don't deal with them but you can send me a dozen dries or so as a finders fee

Of all the ones I looked up those guys have the most complaints. I'm looking at http://www.kobefishingconcerns.co.ke/ They have a 4yr alibaba, a phone number and address in the yellowpages and take paypal.

Question: why would you want 100 doz flies unless you plan to sell them at a profit?
I still use icky flyworks and couldn't be happier. Supporting Alberta business and an AO sponsor..

Icky fly works all the way. The flies I have order through them are great. Super fast turn around and a discount to AO members. Can't do much better than that.

I have used Icky before and was impressed with the quality. I was hoping to buy in bulk since I am looking for so many flies.

I also buy leader in the 100's at a time, only costs me $.60 per leader vs $2.50 in stores.

Do you mind if I ask where you buy leaders for that price? $60 for 100 leaders seems like a very good investment.

I am pretty sure that Icky sources his flies from Africa. Not sure of his provider.
