Hello, just wondering a good place to buy materials. I saw someone selling stuff on here but cant seem to find it anymore. Looking for good rhea and osterich.......lots of colours. thanks
Quality materials can be hard to find at times. Quite often if a fly shop knows you are looking for something they will try to order it for you.
Most of the time if you see what looks to be a good quality material it is just best to pick it up then. Knowing you might need it in the future. One other thing when there are several bags of a specific materials. Lets say Marabou. Look through each bag and inspect the feather fibers. And find the bag that best represents the qualities you are looking for.
i have a good friend named richard mason (dutchie) , he lives in okotoks, alberta. Go to his website and check it out, i know for a fact he has some of the best rhea out there. bowriveradventures is his website check it out!!

is a very good resource. jack@toltriveranglers.com
he has very good materials,and is friendly ,helpful and ships timely.
if you dont see it on his site ,ask ,if he has it or can get it ,it will be in your hands.
and knows alot of rivers and what kinds of flies and materials it takes to have flies that will catch fish.
look him up ,you wont be sorry.
Todd at (Upstream Adventures) has the best Rhea I've seen and tied with, as well as consistent dye jobs and Id hazard a guess as the widest range of colors on the market. His ostrich is incredible, some of it would be damn hard to distinguish from Rhea.
The cheaper feathers have never been as consistent for quality or dye job, you get what you pay for.

Ive been using her Rhea and they are quality feathers. Great color schemes,
stiff at the base and fluttery at the tips...good stuff. Also endorsed by the reputable Bob Mesier per his link via his website....M.R.
