“I have used the shrimp flies here in the south west for a variety of marine species,including flounder,bass,mullet and the odd gilt head bream! Incredible imitations of top quality. The maggot flies I,be used for carp,rudd and perch so far. I have fished for 60+ years and can honestly say that these flies the best I,ve used,many thanks, Pete”

Hi and thank you for your recent order of flies. Having helped you via your messaging on this particular premium range, we are glad you like them. With regards to the shipment, you placed your order at the end of the week and we shipped them to you after the weekend on our first day back in the warehouse. These have been sent to you in your country using an international tracked postage service and you should have the tracking number in your dispatch email. We can see on the tracking that your delivery has been released from customs so we hope it will be with you very soon and you can soon enjoy fishing with these beautiful flies. Thank you and tight lines Team TEF
