China knocks out several million Adams, Woolly Buggers, Clousers, and stock patterns, most likely tied by children in sweat shops, and they sell them over here for next to nothing
I think you will find that not many of your flies come from China & certainly not children in sweatshops. For that try Nike & Reebok. Far more likely Kenya & African countries. Whilst they are certainly tied cheaply you have to remember that the income per capita is considerably lower than a more affluent country, so income, any income is most welcome in that country. In Kenya for example there are some UK fly tying companies that employ handicapped people to tie flies one like Fulling Mill make a reasonable job of it. You want quality they you have to pay for it I am afraid. Look around at your labels China makes just about every thing we use & wear, you may not like or agree it but it is a fact of todays life.
