“Ordered a selection of loose flies on a Friday, was amazed to have them in my fly case by Monday morning. Each individual fly was delivered clearly labeled and depending on the fly type in individual boxes or plastic envelopes. I can only congratulate the company on excellent customer service. Any competitors, the customer focus displayed by the Essential Fly is your benchmark”

“With the array of flies and gear on offer at The Essential Fly, I love shopping here. But I must make a comment about the super customer service that these guys offer. Truly amazing to get a speedy and courteous response to any query regardless whether thats on email or over the phone. The team at The Essential Fly are really knowledgable and probably the most helpful people I have connected with in the world of fly fishing retailers. I am more than happy to recommend The Essential Fly to my fishing buddies.”
