Prices of flys/teasers

[Patrick]

Went to Fairfield Flyshop today in my town. They only have a couple flys in stock. I basically wanted them for teasers. I got 4 flies. One was a baby mackeral, a 1/0 black over white deciever, a 'baby bunker fly' and a silverside fly. I plan on using a the silverside fly as a small sand eel teaser as well. We don't get big sand eels around here. They are pretty cool flies.

Anyways, those 4 flies came out to 21 bucks. Not that I'm complaining but is that really normal? How hard would it be to tie those kinds of flys at home? Could I do it at a lower price? I'm thinking the easiest to tie and the best producer is going to be the deciever.

Let me get this straight. It's a 1/0 hook. That has a feather in it, then it has bucktail around the feather, then some peacock strips laid on top. then a little tinsil. I notice it has a sparkley red hackle or chin, what is it?

Thanks,
