“The flies I ordered arrived in good time and in good condition. I haven't yet had the opportunity to try them out but they look very well tied and quite robust. I like smaller flies and buzzers and these looked perfect for me so will probably reorder in time.”

“I needed the fly tying thread not for fly tying but for the rigging on very small model ships. It is ideal! However on browsing your website I may well take up another challenge i.e. fly tying, maybe even fly fishing. Thank you for your prompt service. John Painter.”

“Well made flies and value for money. But wish I could get the orange/yellow/white nomad I have had in the past. It seems to work when other colours fail.”

“These guys are your dream business to discover. New to fly fishing, I contacted them needing advice as much as equipment - they couldn't have been more helpful. If you are new to fly fishing, want do you really want? To get catching fish! I was catching trout from my first outing thanks to the help and advice Andy and his team gave me. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.”
