“Delivery was very prompt and the flies were very well packaged and, more to the point, well tied. They were effective, too, enabling me to catch my limit when conditions weren't exactly favourable.”

“I took advice from your very informative article on buzzers and purchased some of your bloodworm patterns. I gave them a try. After landing my fourth rainbow trout all on the bloodworm I was pestered by the other anglers on the loch as to what I was catching them on. My regards, Adam Borwick Sec./ Treasurer Selkirk & District Angling Association”
