{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Anyone have good sites for buying saltwater flies

If I'm off to fish some water I'm not familiar with I do some research on the internet.  Info now bounds and often from people who have fished the same waters at the same time of years as you are expecting to fish yourself.  Once you determine what flies work for the fish you wish to target at the time of year you're there, then make a trip down to your local Orvis or fly shop and more than likely, they will have them.  If not, you can order from Orvis or Umpqua online.  If you're planning on sight fishing, prepare to fish for other species if conditions render sight fishing impossible.  On a trip to Cayman last year sight fishing bones was near impossible due to winds but the trip was not a bust as we were able to fish cuda.  Just about any fly worked but baitfish patterns with red in them worked best.

I am in the process of gearing up for an April trip to Mexico and need to order flies some bonefish/permit/tarpon flies.  Anyone have any sites they have used where the quality to price ratio was fairly decent (saltwater specifically)?  Normally I would buy at a shop but none of the local places really sell that stuff and I won't be making it down to the keys before my trip.  One of my friends ordered some crab flies online and they were embarrassingly bad so I would like to avoid that.
