waxworms in bulk anywhere?

Im gettin tired of goin to BAC (not bashing him personally but it is a litte pricy for the 10 waxies he gives you) and getting less than what i need cause i cant chunk out 10$ for waxies..is there a place where i can get them a little cheaper for more?

You can get them off the net from $20-$30 per 1000
 
Try the wormman.com  or beaverbait.com

It depends on where you live.  I buy my maggots, fatheads and wax worms locally the night before each trip to Erie.  Minnows are 79 cents a dozen and maggots are 89 cents for 100...I forget what the waxies are, but I'm sure the price is as right as the minnies and maggots!

fish flies

That is a stretch, even for a devoted fly fisherman. Cabelas has them in bulk, 500 for about 35 dollars I believe.

the baitshop on the southbound side of 18 just north of shenango sells them $1.50 for 6 doz.......

Grubco.com has good live bait

Thats a good question and I'd say that the biggest differences are size and action.  The jig is typically much larger, almost always sinks and with most of it's weight toward the head...gives it a unique action allowing the jig to swim parallel to the bottom and jigged vertically up and down without much effort.  Most flies are either dead drifted floating or sinking or streamed/stripped directly toward the fisherman. 
 
Once again...Oh how some threads can turn! 

okay ill rephrase a little, Is there any local bait shop (near erie) that carries waxworms for cheap??

Just check with your local bait shop, I buy mine in bulk every spring for pellet head season. I get one of the big blue tubs for $9. last me a couple of weeks.Same thing with butter worms and mealies.

I don't even know the name, it is the one in the white building at the top of the hill, with the archery range indoors as well.

Petco, Petsmart, pet shops that sell reptiles and amphibians.

I bought a big tub of waxies from poor richards this fall.  250, I think they charged me 8 bucks, can't remember though.
 
 
As far as fishing flies through the ice, you can do it, gills and crappie love beadhead pheasant tails, just put a small shot up the line about ten inches, you'll have two marks on your flasher then, occassionally you can watch the fish come up and check out the shot. Bait sure helps, I did catch some without tipping it, but tipping it with a maggot got more aggessive strikes.  You can also tie them off a dropper from the back of a jigging spoon.
