...If you want to pick through bins and bins of deer hair, elk hair, etc. stop at Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, MT.

Thanks,

... I followed up my comment about Jimmy's with another post pointing out that my earlier comment ( that Jimmy's has the best deer hair available ) was ridiculous or absurd or ludicrous or something like that.

I believe I also made the point in the follow up post that for anyone who has not been in all the fly shops in the country and checked out all the other sources of deer hair wherever they may be is not in position to claim that a particular shop has the best deer hair available.

As to checking out bins and bins of deer hair looking for the best, what's the point ?? It doesn't take the best deer hair to tie flies that catch fish. I, for one, would rather tie a fly that will work and go fish than spend time in a fly shop looking at stuff. Maybe these guys, from a few days ago ...

... wouldn't be discriminating enough for you, eating flies tied with deer hair bought at Jimmy's, but they would bring a smile to most fly anglers I know.
