“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.”

“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.”
