Are commercially tied flies cheap today?

[Allan]

Hi Byron:

Keep in mind those over sea's flies are tied with the cheapest materials as possible and with slave labor. Lastly one of my flies will catch a ton more fish before the fly is destroyed unlike the cheap tyed over seas flies.

Hi Font,

First sentence not true.
Second sentence, not overly important whether that's an accurate statement or not. Give me a fly that catches trout when I select it and I'll be glad to catch a sufficient quantity of fish so that I have to change to another of the same. I mean really. If we both use the same pattern and you catch a dozen on your one fly and I catch a dozen on two flies (had to change per your rationale) I'd call that a great day for both of us.

Regards,

Allan
