IA Born Report post Posted August 7, 2017 I buy almost all of my line through Orvis online, but I know Rio makes good line, too. Whatever line you get, make sure it has a welded loop at the end for attaching leaders. It makes life so much easier to change leaders, especially after you've gotten your 5th wind knot in 4 casts and the leader is beyond fixing! I don't know what's where down in the valley or your area, but Sportsman's Warehouse has a good selection of line, leader, tippet, and flies. So does Bass Pro and Cabela's. Of course, if these guys know the local shops to hit, even better! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metau Report post Posted September 6, 2017 Sportsman's Warehouse or Cabela's would be the closest to you. It's worth the drive to Desert Sportsman or the Orvis Store if you're headed into town. I would also suggest checking out www.azflyandtie.com. You can get a ton of info there if you use the search tool, and then order what you need to online. Do know that you're likely to get 10 people on here to give up a honey hole for hunting before someone from there gives up a honey hole for fly fishing.
