On Topic
I am finally getting back to tying (again). Where is the best place on line to buy supplies...not much interested in cabelas, the shipping will be as much as the order. Any recommendations? I have a jar to fill. Once full I should have my "skills" back. Any help is most appreciated.
I find the assault on free thought disturbing,
I find the willingness to give it up frightening.

That's a hard question to answer. It's been my experience that while one item is a great price, the other is out of line with many vendors. You really have to shop around, and where material is concerned I want to put my hands and eyes on it. Even with hooks. Unless its a known hook like the 600 SP 3/0 for me

Hi Mike, hope all is well.
I'm lucky enough to live a few blocks from a really good fly shop. (Free Stone - Hamilton MT) and what I can't get there I usually order from FeatherCraft - http://www.feather-craft.com/
Moved to Montana, gonna be a dental floss tycoon.

All is very well. It's been two years of not even caring if the sun came up...I didn't even care about taking "pictures." That all changed five weeks after the "procedure." Lucky you. No more fly shops anywhere near here, not even a crummy Gander Mt. I've bought a lot of stuff from feathercraft over the years I expect I'll be going there tomorrow.

For sure. Get an amazon prime account if you don't have one. reading between the lines, it looks to me like you live in at least a semi-rural area. You'll thank me.
I kinda hate Amazon...but I know....I know.... I've got a long way to getting back, when that small jar is filled....but **** I can't even remember my Yellow Sally tie...that one that Mundinger coveted...and which beat his **** on that one day on the upper Gallatin. I think I remember how I did it...but I won't know until I get back out west.
My son is going to be building a forge this spring....I have lots of ideas.......

I haven't tied in a couple of years.
Semi rural...correct sir. I know Amazon well, my wife sells there...not sure if she still is. We have the prime account. Honestly I never even thought they had FF stuff, I always consider them last. I'll have to check out their prices.

Amazon does nothing for local jobs. People need work here too even if it's not much. I've been known to gladly spend more at local places when possible.

The economy is global.
But you and I have nothing local...if you mean within a 10 minute drive from home.
The most local we have is the fly shop in Boulder Junction (not open in winter), the fly shop in Green Bay or one out of Madison.

I order from either Richie or Charlie at Charlie's fly box: http://www.charliesflyboxinc.com/
I know both of them and support them.
He left them and opened his own store. It just opened.
hah,
I guess you don't get it, if the local chain store is doing good, those jobs stay here. If you think "globally" you ignore what's at home...or what's not at home.
Thanks guys, I'll check them all out

Yeah I get it. But I have no loyalty to "local" buying. Mabye it's just me (but I doubt I'm alone) I like to keep more dollars in MY pocket. That's why I shop Amazon. 95% of the items are cheaper than anywhere else and they are shipped to my house for free in 2 days (I have an Amazon Prime account). Your mileage may vary.
