I generally tie my own still water flies. Everything else I buy. I try to find local tiers and buy directly. Gotta support the local economy you know. I won't buy from a shop that is not a fly shop, meaning I won't buy from catalogs or chain stores. I keep it simple, but quality means a lot to me. Honestly I don't tie flies well enough to sell or start relying exclusively on my own creations. I will pay good money for good flies because I believe that they are the last thing in the whole presentation and the only thing the fish should see.
