Where to buy fly's in Lethbridge????
Hey I was just wondering where you could buy some fly's in Lethbridge. Wholesale, Canadian Tire, and Wal-mart have weak selections. If anybody could tell me a good place to buy them it would be great! Thanks !

It is actually advertising. Its the kind you don't want and it is casting you in a very poor light. You have been shut down once already.....

You have nice flies, and your business will do well! So in return, sponsor the AO forum and this won't be an issue.
Icky Fly Works sponsors AO and they have excellent flies, therefore they will be receiving my business

Aw shucks, you were just trying to help your fellow fly fisherman.
"I didnt realize me giving someone the information needed to get ahold of me was advertising"
Really Lame Cszentes.

All you guys need to calm down... I just created my account today because I was at wholesale yesterday and looked at their fly selection and it was bare! it was $2.19 fly. So i went to the hand google and typed in lethbridge fly fishing. And this website showed up, I read threads and never saw the topic, so i created a account to find out. The reason I put up to threads is because I never noticed the fly fishing thread so I picked the fishing thread. Some of you are getting way too worked up over this honestly.

Actually this is not... I wasn't aware of Lethbridge Fly Shop until today. So please do not jump to conclusions, I am sure you are mature enough to do that.

I am in Lethbridge and was going to try you out(had you saved as a favourite), even inquired about you and your biz yesterday. However, I will not buy from a place that uses these tactics, nor will I recommend you. The way the others piped up, says it all and I am convinced this was just a means to circumvent the rules.

Honestly, I'm straight up going to tell you... You are jumping to conclusions. I am a 16 year old who loves to fish with his dad. All's I was trying to do was find a place near Coalhurst to buy some fly's. Seriously I am 16 year's old and I'm telling YOU to be mature.

This thread got wierd... I think someone's being set-up  I do have a question about wholesale Lethbridge though. Why did they take all their flies out of that nice big table and put them individually in zip lock bags hung on a shelf?? It's inconvenient and as weird as this thread...

Maybe you should come over this weekend DONT BUY ANYTHING just meet me and look at the PM's between me and the guy that started this thread, maybe you can clear the air for me. I am not the kind of guy that would start a fake convesation!!! I am starting to really dislike the members attitudes on this forum, seems nobody has anything good to say just a whole lot of whining.

Curious, why all the hate for a local fly shop? Its not like he's spamming the forum or anything, someone just mentioned the name, no difference than the references to Fishtales or Troutfitters or any of the other local shops that appear here. I'm pretty sure that one small shop won't be the demise of Wholesale in Lethbridge (if he is then I think they have bigger things to worry about).

Where is this shop everyone is whining about? Been waiting for wss to restock for 3 yrs but never happens, contrary to what everyone on here seems to think fly shop owners rarely make the fortune 500 hundred, that is because they are doing something they love as opposed to "breaking all the rules". We ain't talkin about terrorists, rapists, killers, theives,drug dealers and, heaven forbid, bait fishermen, were talkin about a fellow fly fisher! I don't know this guy, nor any of you, but when I've encountered fly fishermen I would say 85% of the time there is an instant bond where we either exchange tactics, patterns, and of course stories,sometimes lasting hours. Fly fishing aint about money, it aint about only catchin hogs, it's a fellowship of people who share the same interest. The only company you should be bashing on here is WHOLE SALE SPORTS! PS. it aint Ricks fault, his knowledge of the sport is vast and he is the epitome of what the sport is about

Actually, Icky fly works is a sponsor. they pay to advertise on here. The other party does not. Not hard to understand now is it? I see the other thread was deleted. This whole "setup" one day after the initial post just seems off. Especially posting info again. Just a way to circumvent the rules.
If he decides to become a sponsor, I would likely change my tune then.
