“I've used Essential Fly for quite a few years, I have found their flies to be consistently good and true to their advertised patterns. Combining fly quality with their excellent deliver service, I am always happy to use them. My recent order was no exception. I would however prefer to see more barbless flies in their catalogue.”

“Thank you very much for supplying me with flies which arrive promptly and in good condition. At the moment I am building up my stock of flies for the coming season, but last summer with my first order from Essential Fly, I went out and immediately caught three trout with them, so I was very pleased!”
