If you want a true quality fly tied in NB try Fireflies - 447-2330. The flies are tied by a retired fireman (Terry) and he does a terrific job. I'm no slouch when it comes to tying, but still go to Terry for some of the difficult patterns. He ties mostly salmon flies, but also has some bass flies you have to hide from the fish to tie on. He's one of the few commercial tiers who takes the time with his bugs, green machines and bombers to overtie the hackle so it does break on the first fish. If you get to know him he'll also share a few of his secret modifications and do they work! At Salmon Brook on the Cains one of his mofified Copper Killers took 4 fish while everyone else (7 experienced fishers)got skunked, even after they switched to the regular version of the fly. He also used top quality hooks and his prices are great.
