Hi Byron:

I can see that flies in cost has dropped due to the over seas input. Also see this as more competition in the fly bussiness. It does n't mean they are tied better or have detail like one might get from Dette's fly shop in Roscoe NY or for that matter from my bench. Keep in mind those over sea's flies are tied with the cheapest materials as possible and with slave labor. I would gladly pay a little more or like I do tye them myself with the materials I want and the details I need and want for the streams I fish. Lastly one of my flies will catch a ton more fish before the fly is destroyed unlike the cheap tyed over seas flies.
