Flies on sale $1.66 per dozen!!!!
 
The other day I was at Wholesale Sports on the Yellowhead Trail in Edmonton and noticed that they are selling packages of flies (dozen) for $1.66
They told me that they have switched suppliers and are just trying to liquidate last years stock.
Maybe this is old news but I figured I'd pass this along in case anyone is interested in getting stocked up for the summer.

Tis old news for Calgary WSS, since beginning of Dec. or so, pretty picked over now. Not sure about Edmonton - Great deal though!

Switched from where,a Kenyan to a Chinese sweatshop?

If i don't tie it myself,I at least like my flies to be tied by somebody that has actually seen a trout in their lifetime,and prefer them to not unwind after 5 casts.You get what you pay for.

I bought a bottle of head cement and I make sure to use it on all the "cheap" flies I buy. Makes a world of difference with durability..

Except that they bend out on you (which they do relatively easily)...

x2 on "you get what you pay for"!
