“I was able to order by phone and collect from their premises,Essential Fly phoned me when my order came into stock.The whole process was handled efficiently and politely.I have not been fishing since I received my waders so I am not able to comment on their performance,but since they are the new model which replaces my vision Ikons I have high hopes (my Ikons have given me 10 years of service).”

“Perfect books for dry flies in smaller sizes. I really like these hooks, the tape is ideal meaning better hook up rates on takes, recent sized eyes makes attaching to fillet easier.”

Hello, Following your original order PO133286 which you informed us was received but empty a replacement was issued under PO133418. Following this replacement being sent on the 17/7/23 Royal Mail advised it was delivered on 19/7/23 at 11:06am. Our customer service team were in communication with you about this and after you confirmed that you had not received it we then on the 28/7/23 issued you a £5 voucher to use against a future purchase. Not only did we re-issue your order but provided a voucher when the replacement was advised as not received. As a valued customer since 2010 and this being the first instance of any issue I do hope that you will continue to work with us as we value every customer and will do our best to resolve any issues which arise. Kind regards TEF
