Hawkeye Fly Tyer

My favorite fly tying materials dealer is Hawkeye Fly Tyer owend by my fishing buddy Mike Jacobs who also owns a couple of clothing stores.

I live in a major metropolitan area that has four fly tying materials outlets but I still buy most of my materials from Mike because he has what I want and they don't. Mike will deal with you personally by phone and his prices can't be beat. Give him a call the next time you need materials. You won't be disapointed.

By the way, Mike Jacobs has virtually every material used to tie the fly patterns on Warmwaterflytyer. If he doesn't have a material that you need I'm sure he will find it for you.
