Can you point me in the direction of local shops that tie their own flies? Most of the shops that I have been to that sell flies use the bulk order service where most of the flies are made over seas. I have left the shop with a few flies and they put them in the bulk box that they received them in, with markings that say Clousers made in the Phillipines.
I just used Miller's for a trip to Cabo. Ordered on Tuesday and they were at my door this evening. Pretty quick service!! Will be using them again.

Can't think of a single Texas fly shop who ties their own for sale. Some tie for show for sure. Flies for Cabo? Do tell that story! I get e mails from Africa all the time trying to sell me flies for resale. Take a look at those Angler's Dream Clousers - awful.

Can't think of a single Texas fly shop who ties their own for sale. At the risk of being accused of tooting my own horn, I tie tons of flies that we sell out of here (Living Waters Fly Fishing in Round Rock). I also tie for Gruene Outfitters. White we have our own patterns in store, we're always open for custom work too.

Back from Cabo and it was a bust on the rooster fishing. Pretty tuff being able to see them but not getting a cast out far enough to try to get them to take a fly. I definitely will get a guide next time I go. Got a chance to get on a boat and got a 42" dorado.  [/URL]
