“Really good choice of flies for most applications. Despatch is usually within 24 hours and the quality of the flies you receive is first class. Some of the patterns by resident fly tyer Sandy Dickson add a twist to well known patterns, and in my experience these usually outperform the original. Good selection of fly tying materials too - but not all are in stock so that may delay despatch of your order. Overall a really good company to deal with and my first point of call for flies”

“I ordered with your simple on line order form, paid, arrived in post very quickly. I used the flies the following day at my regular venue. It was very quiet using my normal patterns, a few follows, couple of tentative takes. Then i thought I would use a new fly 'firedancer' size 10. First cast and a tremendous hit which took my fly and part of hook snood. I retired another on 8lb line, i had 4 rainbows in next 20 minutes, and 3 fish in four casts on a ' firedancer'. Super fly”

“The Essential Fly website is easy to use and one of the best flyfishing sites on the web ! I had a problem with a spool of thread a couple of years ago and they replaced it straight away with no quibble . Which for me shows integrity and caring about the stuff they sell. Thier "own label" gear is excellent-If you don't believe me check out their Tapered Leaders You will be surprised at the turn over ! I must mention Semper Fli -.It's has one of the best selections of flytying gear around Their threads are the best -I wouldn't split anything else Christy Langton”
