Fishizzle, I use worms but I'm looking to upgrade!
I've always seen fly shack at the shows and on fishing websites ,but finally this summer I decided to give them a try....I really don't like tying flies and have found that while tying is worth it to me as a very big advantage on tough summer trout, it doesn't matter how great your patterns are on early season trout that will take generic patterns with no problem so long as there presented properly. Looking at fly shack's site, I needed to get some larger hoppers,ants, ect for my upcoming trip and also wanted to stack up on some nymphs that I hate tying (caddis pupa, prince nymphs, large double wingcase stone flies). I just got my package in the mail and was really impressed at what these flies turned out like considering they are only 80c a fly. They look great, are on decent hooks, and don't have threads hanging off them like I half expected after purchasing them. While the thread on them might break after a fish or two, most fly shops have the same thing happen to there flies since they're buying these things from wholesale outlets as well. While I do think some flies need to be tied on your own for stream specific detail, I would recommend this site for your buggers,nymphs, general adams/caddis/terrestrial patterns if you don't enjoy tying that much or maybe just don't have the time to tie the amount of flies you need on stream. With flies going at $2 at most locations, flyshack's flies are worth a try.
