85 miles to my 'local' shop with pretty limited tying suplies.(the owner is a good guy, but oriented more to steelhead and warm water stuff) I get what I can from John and sometimes he can order stuff for me, but I usually wind up on the internet. A good shop in California or Montana or Arkansas is only a couple of clicks away and I can talk to them on the phone. Still, I like to see and touch stuff and I buy what I can as local as I can.
Not to hijack, but has anybody else noticed that Cabela's limited supply of tying materials keeps getting smaller?
