Default look at these prices

http://flies-galore.com/

has anyone used this site ,,, i know you have to buy 6 at a time with some but if they are as good as they look on the site it must be good for someone looking to start of a set of flies ,although i will say that you wont get better quality than u get from the guys on here and every penny is worth spending for them , just though i would share the link anyway.

Flies look great; and the £price is fantastic! Any-one tried them?

thats what I'm awaiting as these prices are fantastic and the quality of the flies look good too , just want to hear about their service etc!! before trying any out.

then again at this price for a few dozen it would be worth the risk i think.

At those sort of prices it does make me wonder as to what sort of sweat shop they are tied in and exactly how old are the tiers?

I would try and find out what hooks they are tied on. For me it's false economy using poor quality hooks.

Some of the proportions look odd to me.....the profile on some of the nymphs looks a bit too chunky?

Yes hooks is a top priority i also can't imagine at 15 pence a fly, the hooks to be of a decent quality, i bet they are not Kamisan, and also are they decent materials,
its hard to imagine how this company can make a profit at this price.
Has any Forum Members used them?

And precious little information about them too, like a postage price?

Still, if they have good service, and they're tied on decent hooks...
