“I recently bought some flies from Essential Fly. They were delivered almost by return of post although only basic delivery was selected. The flies were all well tied with good materials on good hooks. I used them to good effect at Clatworthy reservoir (Somerset) this weekend. Well done and thanks to Essential Fly.”

“Visited the shop to buy some thread, very knowledgable staff helped me to choose the new Semperfli Waxed Thread in 6/0, 8/0 and 12/0 A really nice thread to tie with, accepts dubbing extremely well, exactly the right amount of wax makes the thread very managable. Not as strong as GSP but stronger than most conventional threads. Highly recommended.”
