The closest fly shop I have available to me is about 100 miles away,but I have found a good solution to that. I just buy all of fly tying supplies at a local bait shop. The bait shop doesn't have any fly tying or fly fishing materials but the owner still orders the stuff for me and gives it to me at the price he pays for it which is alot less than the regular price minus alone not including the shipping! The only downside to that is that I can't walk into a fly shop and see everything that they have to offer but that is still fine with me since I have the internet and anything that I need to know about fly tying materials or tools is on the net!
