“I have had excellent experiences shopping with the Essential Fly over the past few years. Whenever I need to stock up, I come to this site and get my usual Nano Silk 30D 18/0 Brick Beige and the Nano Silk Pro 20D Black. These are the most incredible materials to work with, I love the colours and of course I like how quickly they arrive when I consider how far they have to travel to me in Australia. Excellent service and communication. As usual, will be back for more !”

“Flies themselves are well tied and great quality. What's frustrating is the proportion of orders which are delivered tied on hooks which are not the size ordered.”

“Having placed my order a week later my order had not arrived. I went to my account only to discover that one of the items ordered was out of stock therefore the order could not be fulfilled. A few days later I called and spoke with a helpfull lady who checked to see when your delivery was due.As luck would have it the delivery had arrived that morning. The rest was plain sailing. The disapointment was due to a lack of communication after the order was placed.A email stating an item was out of stock and therefore the order would be delayed would of been appreciated.”
