“The Essential Fly, have provided a wonderful delivery service to my New Zealand address. Their prices are very competitive, compared to other U.K. business competitors. Customer care and feedback communication are excellent. I am very happy with the overall purchasing experience and shall continue to purchase goods and recommend The Essential Fly to other people. I am still awaiting the delivery of shipped goods and am therefore unable to provide a review at this current time.”

“The Essential Fly is an on line shop full of fly fishing items. I have been buying products from them for years. They are competitively priced and the products they sell are good quality. I highly recommend you at least go to their site and at least view the products before buying your fly fishing gear.”

“Great product range and prompt service with sensible free delivery level. Mildly frustrating habit of cancelling unavailable items rather than offering a substitution from their large range.”

“REALLY happy with my order of Uni-Flexx Floss Red. Many versions of flex floss on the market, BUT they're all cut lengths! Great advantage of Uni-Flexx Floss is that its spooled on a continuous spool of 15 yards. I can cut off whatever length I need without tying lengths together when for example tying an Apps Special Variant. Easy ordering, speedy delivery, thank you Essential Fly.”
