“I am new to the sport of fly fishing, and have only a small collection of flies. Many of these have been ordered from The Essential Fly, and I have yet to order from another company who can compete on either price or quality, let alone both together! The hatch charts and rigging suggestions on their emails are also gratefully received. Thanks, M”

“For me the Essential Fly is the go-to place for all my fly tying needs. I don't need to search other fishing sites, I just automatically go there. Ten out of ten from me.”

“The fly tying products that I ordered were well packaged, they arrived quickly and the cost of postage and packing was very good. Most importantly all the products, threads, chenille and predator fibre were of excellent quality.”
