Is there any fly tyers in Calgary who sell their flies?
I would be very interested...as I do not tie them.

If you just want to buy flies...... check out one of the sponsors (here in calgary no less) http://www.ickyflyworks.ca/

I admit I used his flies in the fly exchange a couple years ago.
I don't tie, no interest in learning to tie, but wanted to take part in the exchange.

Ickyfly works is good people!

Plus I think if you connect through AO there is a discount code too.

Maybe you should see if guys would be interested in doing a fly exchange.
Generally its 12 guys, 12 flies.

Fly exchange.

One guys organizes it.
You get 12 guys to each make 12 flies.

They all send the flies along with a S.A.S.E.
Once you have collected all the flies from the 12 guys, you then put 1 of each fly into the envelopes. So in the end each participant gets 12 flies and send them back their S.A.S.E.

You end up with some pretty cool flies.
