Materials

[Cal]

Does anyone have any advice to where I should be buying tying materials for good prices?

Any input would be great!

I think that you need to be more specific.

J Stockard is having a sale on hooks and thread. That should be a first stop.

Make a list and plan to go to one of the shows in the winter.

Once you find something that works buy way more than you need because once it ends up on the big websites it’ll be sold out within a year

Dear Cal,

I have no complaints with hooks I've bought from Hook and Hackle.com or Green Caddis.com. These they are cheap, but when you stick as many as I do in rocks or trees, you'll appreciate that.

If you need things like beads and foam, check out a craft store like Michaels or JoAnnes. The selection might be limited, but you also might find what you need for a lot less. I used to even buy Wooly Bugger hackle at JoAnnes. They called it craft feathers, but the fish didn't mind.

Regards,

Tim Murphy
