Chuck, A place where you can find some VERY cheap materials is http://www.flytyersdungeon.com/. Another tip for cheap but good materials and tools is to check out eBay. I have bought both my vise and my Metz hackles (both capes and saddles) from eBay stores. I've also bought much in tools and threads there. On many products there is a "BuyItNow" option, so the items can be ordered just as you would from a regular store...without the auction hassling, but still much cheaper than retail price and. I made an eBay search for 'fly tying' and here you can check out the 1157 items: http://search.ebay.com/fly-tying_W0QQsojsZ1QQfromZR40 Check also out the additional 2263 items from the eBay stores (BuyItNow options): http://search.stores.ebay.com/ws/search/StoreItemSearch?from=R40&fsoo=1&fsop =1&satitle=fly+tying&sbrexp=WD1S&sbrhrlink=str&sif=1&sofp=4&sojs=1
When it comes to hackles, consider also the Conranch ones. The hackles are good and come to very good prices...or as Dennis Conrad, himself, says: "that won't break the bank". Check them out on: www.conranch.com VFB LISTERS...
