Testimonials

Great value for some flies. I've already caught a few trout on a couple of the nymphs. Like others have mentioned, you might want to make sure there is no glue in the eyelet, as you'll have trouble getting line through. Just take a pin and clear the eyelet.
Jack Jordan

I don't usually write reviews, very few in fact. After receiving this assortment and comparing them to a national fly fishing outfitter, I was stunned. The quality of the flys received from Fly Deals is superior to the outfitters at a fraction of the cost. They were well packaged and labeled. Looking forward to getting them wet tomorrow ( had to work in the garden today ) and am eagerly waiting for my new order to arrive. I'll look here for all my dry fly and nymph's in the future. There is no need for me to look elsewhere.
Alex

The package came very quickly and as described with each type of fly labeled and in their own box or baggie. Although I have not yet used them, the flies appear reasonably well tied and should fish very well.

I've been shopping around, looking on Amazon and looking at my local fly shop. I can say that these flies look great and the quality is the same or better then the local fly shop and cost less. I can't wait to use them. I'll be trying them out in March once the weather gets better and I'll post an update.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my brother. I know very little about fly fishing, so the reviews and description of the assortment was what I relied on when purchasing the package. He said it contained most of the flys he liked and some new ones he hadn't tried but was looking forward to using and at least one he had been looking for, but couldn't find. That's all I know. Good quality flies that are the best sellers and no "duds." These came individually boxed so the name and size were on each fly.

Most of the flys are very small. I did not realize that when buying it. Make sure the hook size is what you need.came in well packed in little bags and boxes. The Quality is outstanding. I will be ordering more when I run out for sure.

What our customers say

Tackle shops, guides and anglers who fish the flies we tie

"The barbless range is what keeps us coming back. Hooks are sharp out of the box and the dressing holds up after a full day on the water."
Tomasz Wierzbicki
"We started with one mixed box to test the quality. The CDC work was neat enough that we now order it by the dozen."
Aoife Brennan
"Clear per-dozen pricing and no surprises on the invoice. That is rarer than it should be in this trade."
Mateo Salazar
"Salmon doubles arrived properly boxed, not squashed together. Tubes and trebles were straight and clean."
Håkon Dahl
"Communication is the strongest part. I ask a question about a pattern and get a straight answer, not a sales pitch."
Ruth Chebet
"Our guide team fishes the streamers hard. They survive snags and pike teeth better than the bulk boxes we used before."
Jean-Luc Moreau
"Sizes run true across the range, which makes reordering simple. The size 12 nymphs match the size 12 we had last season."
Emma Caldwell
"Small orders are handled with the same care as the big ones. That matters when we are topping up a single bin."
Daisuke Morita
"Beaded nymphs are weighted consistently. No odd heavy ones at the bottom of the box."
Pieter van Wyk
"The dries sit flat and float without a heavy dose of floatant. Our customers noticed the difference straight away."
Siobhán Kelly
"Restocks arrive when they say they will. We plan our season around that and it has not let us down."
Lucas Almeida
"Pike flies are tied tight. No loose eyes, no shedding hair after a few casts."
Katrin Vogel
"We asked for a mixed selection for our lodge guests. The assortment was sensible and sold through quickly."
Owen Fitzgerald
"Barbless hooks are properly finished. No burrs, no snagging in the packaging."
Zanele Dlamini
"The Czech nymphs are consistent in shape and weight. That consistency is the reason we keep the line on our shelf."
Marcus Feldt
"Invoices, packing lists and labels are all correct. Small thing, but it saves us hours at goods-in."
Hana Novakova
"A pattern we could not source elsewhere was tied to our sample. It is now one of our better sellers."
Callum Fraser
"Bonefish flies hold their shape after a saltwater session. The eyes stay put."
Deepa Nair
"Straightforward people to deal with. If something is short, they tell you before shipping rather than after."
Eero Laine
"Quality has been steady across every order, which is what we need from a supplier we recommend to our own customers."
