I have always been pleased with saltwaterflies.com. They have a large assortment of well-tied flies in varying sizes. Orders arrive within < 1 week.

Take a look here:

chriskincaidlfyfishing.com

Just placed an order with Chris after several communications with him. He knows what he is doing, can tie other patterns you may want besides what is on his website (I ordered several), and most importantly he used top quality materials. To me that is paramount, especially the hooks. Be wary of places that say they use blah blah blah without stating specifics. When it comes to flies, especially for saltwater, I want to know exactly what hook they are going to use.

That hook thing is sure something to watch for.
You would feel pretty bad if you lose a nice fish on maybe
an expensive trip just because you skimped on the flies.

I lost a big seatrout on one of my trips because a hook bend
straight - it was a bought fly.
For my next trip I will tie all the flies myself on good hooks.

the Best website may not be the Best source for flies...especially salt water flies. The quality depends on where the supplier buys and how the flies are tied.

For custom-tied flies, I am proud to endorse Capt. Tom Shadley of www.mangroveoutfitters.com who uses top-quality materials and techniques...like gluing each step so the fly is super tough. I have studied fly tying with Tom and he can duplicate most any pattern. Some of his flies are pattented patterns. If you know what size and pattern you want, give Tom Shadley a call 1-239-793-3370. His prices are competitive. His click and buy feature is coming along soon.

Patrick,

I would urge you to check out www.FishFlyes.com, it's the website of my very good friend and master tier Peter Viviano Jr. He ties amazing flies for all saltwater prey, I would highly recommend going to his site and getting in touch with him.

There's a link to his site on my blog. WesternSoundFly.com

best,

pat
