“I am passionate about my fly fishing and fly tying, and clearly the same applies to the people at The Essential Fly. Not only that, but they work to a mantra of providing quality customer service which makes them a pleasure to deal with. Great products, quality advice and five star service each and every time. No wonder I keep coming back, even though I live on the other side of the world!”

“Ive used TEF several times now since finding them on the net. Only once did I need to contact customer services and on that occasion they were brilliant. I find the products they sell are of good quality and at a great price and with Goggles certification you know you can trust them to look after you well. Great job guys and thank you”

“I was delighted with the service from this firm. I drove down from York and apart from missing the turn ( and Simon came to the road to find me0 it was relatively easy to locate. The service, friendliness, staff and ambience of the place were of the highest order. The level of knowledge was also very good. My order once decided upon was put together and I was able to browse whilst this packed. Well worth a browse. I have never seen so many flies in one place. I should add that I found this firm from the web site. It has a most comprehensive selection on the web site as well Prices are very good and I would strongly recommend the Essential Ply to anyone who wishes to buy flies either from the site or shop”
