Let me start with, I buy local every chance I get. Rainbow Fly Shop is my closest, locally owned shop and I buy from Matt (the owner) every time I can. With that being said, sometimes I need a specialty item that Matt doesn't carry. When that happens, I go to one place, and one place only: J.Stockard Fly Fishing. I actually can't believe that I haven't written about J. Stockard before. Oh, and by the way, I'm not getting paid, or a discount, or free stuff to write about their site. It's just so good that I had to share it with you.
I've been buying from J. Stockard for a few years now and I have nothing but good things to say about the company. Their prices are usually on par or cheaper than other places. However, if you can catch a sale on the site, then you're going to be in even better shape. I know that goes without saying but if you buy during the sales rather then when you need the items, you're going to be better off. As far as selection goes, if they don't have it then you don't need it. And finally, they run some good promotions. On my last order, I received a free hoo rag (a buff/face mask type thing) and a few stickers. Again, you usually get a lot for your money. The only down side, and I can't fault them for this, is the shipping. That's where you end up spending more than you usually would at Rainbow or other fly shops. With that being said, if you need your materials quickly or you just can't find them anywhere else, then the additional cost is justifiable.
Even if you're remotely curious, click the link below and browse a little. Work can wait, and so can making dinner, going to bed, and any other responsibility that might looming! All joking aside, it's a good site and I think you'll dig it!
