pans, the whole world would be a kitchen. Guess you gotta get in business 
before you can be "forced" outta business by unscrupulas fly tyers, LMAO

I'd love to support my local fly shop...if there was
one!!! some of have very long trips to get to any type
of fly shop...130+ miles for me either east to Baton
Rouge, (a shop that doesn't cary much stuff) or the
same amount west to the Houston shops.  Just not
practical...so I do look at craft stores, sewing
stores etc. as well as online.  I get by fairly well
for the type of flies I tie.
