I`ve tried and tried tying flies but I`ve lost some of my dexterity due to breaking my hands a few times some years ago and can`t get it right, not when you see some of the creations put on here.
Mallochs in my home town of Perth don`t have a good selection of trout flies (that I want anyway), so can you recommend an good online source.

Education is important.
But fishing is importanter

There hasn't been a lot of traffic on there so I don't know if there are still people willing to help.
Don't worry, be happy.

I sometimes buy from the US. This company offers first class service on more unusual stuff

I also home-buy run of the mill wets that I can't bothered tying

I'm not a fly tyer, hope to het into it but I think lack of dexterity and poor eyesight will overcome. At the mo use the following:-
http://www.flymail.com/
and
http://www.dragonflies.co.uk/store/

One of the two do excellent klinks, think it is Dragonly.

I think the main thing is if you're buying flies, avoid fly supermarkets.com. Poor quality hooks and poor quality materials  :(

Links on this thread are good and Caithness flies seem to be highly recommended, definately seem to be high quality flies.

Next time I get the vice out I'll send you some up Jim  :)

I was using "The Essential Fly Company" but they kept sending me junk emails and when I opened one of them my computer went all tae feck.
I`d happily pay Forum members for flies Don. :wink:

Jim, the flies would be FOC. I'm loaded with the cold at the minute but will tie you some up as soon as the Lurgy clears   :(
