I went to both Cabela's and both Wholesale Sports. North Cabela's has an embarrassment of a fly shop, really. South is better, but still lacking. Wholesale Sports, I thought, are both alright with south being better. I did not look at the flies selection in either of the shops; I am talking about tying materials.
In the end of the day, none of the four had the hooks I was looking four. I was not able to find a yellow bucktail either and only Cabela's at the north end of town had the black ones (I grabbed the last two). So I am still looking for few things, which it appears I will have to buy online again as usually.
The shop in Red Deer that was mentioned above has some pretty weird hours of operation, which I have noticed only when I got there. So it was closed and I could not make it back during the right hours.
Thanks to all for the input.
