Great blog, photos, video and articles. Very informative. Most of my fishing is done in Canada. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you tight lines and big fish. Rick

Great advice Rick. Not too many things suck like getting excited about a purchase on eBay and then finding it less than what you expect.

Good post, one word of caution for your readers though.

I have been doing this for a LONG time and have tied my own flies for Many years now. Buying on E-Bay can be a great way to save a few bucks, but the quality is very hard to judge online. I have bought many things from E-Bay and much has been good, but there have also been many times that when I get the material I find that the color is different, and the biggest thing it is OLD. I have bought Hackle off E-Bay and many times it has been old and dry, Certain Items are fine as you can’t go wrong like beads, hooks, dubbing, thread, but be careful when it comes to most other stuff.

Just a word of caution.
