“The delivery was very quick, the products were excellent. However the refund for a returned item has been slow in coming. apart from that, i think that they are an excellent fishing tackle retailers and I would have no hesitation in using them again.”

“Since I started fishing again I have always used The essential fly exclusively for their trout flies. Their tips and videos helped a lot after a break of 20 years, I was a little out of practice and there were new techniques to master. Super quick service and great customer service. Highly recommend.”
