I do know a couple of folks who sell stuff that didn't sell at the shows
on eBay, using it for closeout. Also, it is good for building up a
customer list for other fly sales.
I've sold several thousand lot's of stuff, and the pricing is all over

When I was tying for the shops and resorts I was able to buy my materials in
bulk. I would buy hooks in 1000 lots and get a good discount on my other
materials. Chenille was bought by the 144 yard skein Thread bought 10 spools at
a time and things like that kept the price down.

This is a story that started three years ago.
I got a call about three years ago from someone in Mississippi that said he
would be in Arkansas for a week with his wife. He said he has seen my name on

with me. He s

I don't see how anybody can tie the amount of flies it would take to even net
minimum wage. I know you'd get faster and faster with certain patterns, but in
order to sell many, you'd have to constantly be changing patterns (I guess)
which would slow you down. I don't think I'd have the speed to
Alan: I guess so. I can still get hooks now for $6.00/100, but even at that
price, you'd have to tie a LOT of flies to make any real money. Specially at
places like ebay where if the certain auction ends with a no sale, you still
have to pay a relisting fee to list them again. Do that 2-3 times
I think that in some countries that is probably the TRUTH... Chuck

Tony: I think you're right. Most of the flies I'm talking about probably do
come from China etc. I remember when I first started fly fishing, and didn't

still fell apart after a cpl fish. Chuck

I have had people out on my boat that were fishing Wal Mart flies and the flies
did not last from the time we were out till we got back.
I hesitate in posting this but that is what happened.

Chuck,
This sounds like I am blowing my own horn so don't take it that way. I was
getting the premium for my flies at the shops because I tied them. A lot of
them were bought as collectors flies. This also happens at shows. At the
Conclave last week I had a tyer say I will take your fly because
I was tying a lot of Olive Wooly Buggers, and Chili Peppers. I could tie a
dozen in 45 minuets after putting the beads on the hooks using a Norlander
vise. I would get orders for 15 dozen. I can't do that any more and am getting
too old to even try.
The truth is that I just got burned out on tyi
Most of the flies we sell at Bass Pro start at $1.29 and the most popular ones
are like 1.79 to 2.29. Some of the bigger one sell for 6.99.
