I'm not sure how many of you guys don't tie but if you don't you should check out cabela's. They actually have a decent selection of Euro type flies. I know how hard it can be to find these type flies in your local fly shop.

Watch for sales as well.

I cleaned them out of Egan's Frenchie a few months back. At $1.88 for two, you couldn't pass them up.

I remember seeing the frenchie in the bargain basement section. Then I remember seeing they were all gone. Now we know who is to blame.

You should of seen the package they came in...

The flies came in sets of two, and Umpqua packaged each set in a box about twice the size of a small match box. Each of those boxes was shrink wrapped then placed in a larger box for delivery.

Multiply that by (cough) sets ordered and it looked like they were delivering a tent.

Oh...and when I carried the box inside and my wife asked what I'd ordered...and I said flies. That's a look I'll never forget.

Damn you chris and all your money...I finally got some cash went to order those and they were all sold out. I knew who was to blame!

I finally figured that dubbing out too...took me a couple tries but I have it almost to the T. almost an Exact match of the umpqua frenchie blend. My flies will now be unstoppable! AHAHAHA!
