Re: [VFB] US trout fly prices.

Ronan, That's like asking what's the price of cars, or houses, or fly rods, over here.  You can pay $8/dozen for cheap flies on cheap hooks, $2 each for nice standard flies on good hooks, $3 each and up for difficult-to-tie flies, or $50 each for custom marlin flies on tandem 10/0 6/0 heavy-duty hooks.   Boils down to - "you get what you pay for".  If his market will bear the price for better quality, then all comparisons are off.  Why is your contact a potential client?  Is he not satisfied with the product he's getting?   Just asking the business questions.  Been at this a long time.   DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronan MacLoughlin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 6:31 AM Subject: [VFB] US trout fly prices.
