I guess I am not just asking the question. We need to know how to get in touch with the major wholesalers in the industery. We have contacted and recieved information from several. We think that we may have to go to one of the major trade shows that are held around the country. Wondering if anyone has been to one and can provide insight as to what is availiable. Its pretty hard to ask a person in your town how he does his business. Thinking that the majority of board memembers here are from west side Washington state, and have nothing to fear from providing us with some contact information.

Things we need,,

A Commercial fly tier. I tie rather well but would not be able to devote enough of my time to just that.

A major wholesale outlet for reels. We have Rods/ waders / boats lined up. Several Brands.

Information on lure vendors. Several have been easy to locate, and good to work with. Some we can't find the source. Its all middle men.

I guess bottom line is wondering if someone over there that does this every day would be willing to share some info with someone from an complete different area. We have the cash, location and knowledge, just lacking in vendor contacts.

Anyone can e-mail me at BG127@AOL.COM

Thanks
