Quality flies, fast.
March 3, 2017

I was very impressed with the quality fly selection. Even the "cheap" flies were miles beyond the flies available at big box retailers. The fast turnaround was outstanding. I plan on doing a lot more business with Tenkara Fly Shop.

Great Personal Service!
February 1, 2017

I ordered up a mixed dozen Tenkara flies and after ordering realized I gave the wrong ship to address... I sent an email asking for the address to be corrected... next morning I got a reply saying it was taken care of... I was also notified that my order shipped. Great follow through on even my small order. Flies showed up as promised and they look great. I'm a novice fly-tier and like to look at others work... these are really well tied. Great assortment too... various colored bodies and hackle. Hope to get close to this level some day. Can't wait to get on the water with these... Great experience overall. Also nice to support a small business that knows what they are doing... a nice signed thank you note from Jim too. Great job!

Great personal feedback and advice
January 6, 2017

My experience with Tenkara Fly Shop was world class. As a relative new Tenkara fisherman, the advice I received was invaluable. The communications was quick, detailed, friendly and excellent. The flies I purchased were exactly what I needed. I have definitely found my one-stop shop and the first place I will go when I need gear for my Tenkara. GREAT customer service!

Great experience
January 5, 2017

I just started tying flies and ordered the tool kit. I was very pleased with what I received. Some folks think you need to spend hundreds on vises, bobbins and scissors to tie good flies, not so. For $45.00 I was on my way. I have recommended this to others on Facebook chats.

A Pile of Cheap Tenkara Flies
August 22, 2016

Very easy to order, customer service is second to none, fast delivery & great communication. As a beginner in Tenkara, the selection of flies works well on panfish & I anticipate they will do well thru the ice for crappies this winter. When I run through these, i will be sure to order more along with some of Jim's flies.

Tekara flies purchase
August 18, 2016

I am extremely happy with my recent purchase from the Tenkara Fly Shop. Jim, the proprietor, was very friendly and helpful with advice and the order was sent very promptly. The flies are excellent and the free little wooden fly box was an added bonus and an indication of the generosity and fine customer service that Jim has. I would not hesitate to place another fly order with the Tenkara Fly Shop.

I was very pleased with the flies I received my only complaint was I had some questions that went unanswered via email. Being new to the sport I just needed a little direction.

Thanks Sharon. I am sorry that I missed your questions. I took another look at your order and email but did not see them. Of course, I just upgraded to Windows 10 so it may have gotten lost in the sauce. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards, Jim

Awesome selection and quality!
August 18, 2016

While the turn-around time of my order would not have been considered speedy, Jim was in contact with me frequently updating me on the status. I thought of it like the experience of going in to a steakhouse for a fine cooked meal rather than rushing through a drive through. And the end quality product exceeded my expectations! Tight lines!
