Exclamation Looking for some saltwater flies, anyone know a good vendor?
I am looking for epoxy shrimp, deceivers, Clouser minnows, Bonefish crab, Gotcha and scampi, or whatever works in Hawaii, specifically on the flats in Oahu.

I checked Icky, didn't have any.

Call some of the fly shops in Calgary. They should all carry a assortment of saltwater patterns and will ship to you

Decievers and clousers can be had in any fly shop. West winds and Fish tales have it all in Calgary.

Crabs are hard to make...buying them make sense. That being said I do not see lots of little crabs in hawaii. I would think some gotchas would be best. They are easy to tie.

Flymart.ca is a shop in Ontario. He doesn't have everything listed on his site. But carries great flies. Give them a call and ask for Scott.

Ken, get online and find a flyshop on Oahu. They will know what works best there and they will have them.
