letumgo 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Have any of you guys purchased any materials from a website called Blue Ribbon Flies? I have been thinking about buying some of their soft hackle materials, but figured I'd ask around before I did. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me on their service, quality. Here is a shortcut link to their site: http://blueribbonflies.com/merchandise/index.shtml Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

letumgo 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks. It sounds like your tying some soft hackle flies. That was some of the same stuff I was looking at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redwings1 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Ray, Craig Mathews is one of the classiest guys you could ever deal with or meet. Wonderful through the site and helpful on the phone. Make sure when you order from them you get some of the zlon (in mayfly and caddis colors) as well as some xcaddis and sparkle dun hair patches Just keep in mind where they are at...if they are snowed in then so is your order.

Hot Tuna 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Sign up for their online newsletter Ray....they usually feature a fly and a fly tying material as well fishing reports. They are always coming up with great fly designs. Mike is right...they have the world's supply of Zelon and they are the most selective of anyone when it comes to different types of deer hair. Quite simply....they rock! :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sal Velinus 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Best shop in west yellowstone; nice people and lots of bins to rummage through. However, I would not buy any hides, skins, or hackle online b/c you can't be picky about tips, color, hackle length, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

letumgo 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 Mike (Redwings1) - I just place an order for some soft hackle materials from Blue Ribbon Flies. I got to speak directly with Craig Mathews, and your right about him being a nice guy. He was very helpful with all of my questions and was full of good information. I can't wait to get my order (hopefully sometime next week). :yahoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
