“I have been a customer for a number of years. The service provided during the ordering and supply of materials was excellent. The materials are of a high quality. Most of the items I purchased are for future use, with the exception of the Bronze Mallard feathers, which I used to tie a specific fly , using the feathers to form a tail and a loop at the thorax. Thank you for a fantastic service. I will be purchasing more materials in the future. Best regards, David Paterson”

“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.”
