What Customers Say

I recently had the pleasure of ordering items from your user friendly website!! What can I say other than how pleasantly surprised I was to receive my carefully packed and individually labelled package containing various flies ordered via the website.
Your products and service are so much different from other companies I have used in the past, I was expecting (as per usual) a bunch of flies to land in a heap on my desk at work; instead my order which contained over 20 types of fly was sorted by style and size and then each individual fly was placed in a clear seal bag and individually labelled by hand! I can not stress how important it is that each fly was labelled, as for a beginner this is the best way of learning the names of the flies. Kelly Dangoor - Director
What does an angler require of a tying company ? Firstly there should be a good range of flies. Secondly, the flies should be well tied and finally the service should be prompt with the fies well packaged. The Essential Fly wins on all three. Ivan Armstrong.
