Started new Tenkara and shop was excellent in help
I ordered some flies from Jim a while ago and since he doesn't tie his flies until your order is placed it takes a little time to get them. Jim updates you with emails right up until he ships them.
He also sends a small wooden container with them. Jim is a superior fly tier and the quality of the flies are are outstanding. I will definitely be ordering from him again.
Jim makes beautiful flies. You may have to wait for your order, but the wait is worth it. Just make sure you order several weeks before you need flies. Jim does a great job of communicating, and giving timing updates so you know he hasn't forgotten about you. I highly recommend Tenkara Fly Shop.
Superb craftsmanship takes time... and well worth it. Jim is a true artist. He also sells a variety of imports which are also very effective as a considerable bargain. Custom orders are fulfilled in order of receipt. My average wait is roughly 2 months... and well worth it. Top quality custom materials are very durable and perform best on the streams. It really brightens my day when receiving an email announcing my order is next on the vise
Thank you John, I really appreciate your kind words. BTW: I am about to start the order right before yours. That will take me a few days to complete, so... "Your order is next on the vise" (LOL)
Exactly what I wanted, fast shipping and quality product
Mailing Service was fast, prices excellent, and a bit of personal attention with the inclusion of a sample of tying material... Would make additional purchases...
My experience with Tenkara Fly Shop was fantastic. Jim makes flies to order which means they ship when they're ready. Jim communicated as my order was in progress and was very friendly and accommodating. The flies are gorgeous! I will be ordering again. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words Daniel
I've just placed my first order from Tenkara Fly Shop. Jim was right up-front in stating that he custom-makes each fly, so I should expect to wait for a while to receive my shipment. A couple of days later, he emailed me an update, explaining that my order was next in the queue. I call that dedication to customer satisfaction!
Thanks Edward. It's good to hear that my efforts are appreciated, keeps me going another season. Tight Lines, Jim
The flies arrived quite fast. They are beautiful at a reasonable affordable price. I recommend this shop :))
Have not received my product yet but was well informed that it was delayed and the reason for the delay.
I have not received my flies yet but the owner answer my questions and gave me some sound advice on fly selection. He did not try to oversell me flies I may never need.
Fast to keep me updated on progress of tying flies but did let me know there would be a slight delay. No probkem a coupke of months before trout season
Jim produces an excellent product. You can see the care that goes into his work.
On top of that his communication is very good. He sends multiple updates about the status of your order.
All in all, an excellent experience. Highly recommended.
Fast and professional, ordered the Jameson yarn, replied immediately with a free shipping offer, I would definitely recommend this site
I received the fly order today. Every fly was beautifully crafted. I look forward to getting them wet. The flies were tied to order, I was kept informed all through the brief wait, and you could not ask for more personal service or attention.
Tenkara Fly Shop is now my official go-to source.
Thank you Dan. Welcome to the family. Tight lines!
Great customer service and their products are of excellent quality. I will always look for this merchant before anyone else.
Thanks Barry. It's great to know that our efforts are appreciated. Happy Holidays.
I am not a fisherman but wanted to buy an assortment for a friend for Christmas. He did a beautiful job in putting together a nice assortment, asking what kind of fishing he does, and shipped exactly as promised. They look beautiful.
Thanks Francis. Happy Holidays.
Everything is of a superb quality and looks like a true work of art. Fly fishing has become very enjoyable thanks to the products from this store.
Jim is a pleasure to work with - quick response to order and fast delivery. I will be ordering again as needed.
Purchased a range of patterns from Jim which I succesfully used on a recent fishing trip. Jims Black Ant and the Kebari Futsu Common consistently out performed all my other patterns over a 5 day period, and I will definitely purchase more from Jim in the future.
Answer: Hi Jim, thanks for the inquiry. Due to Covid 19, I am currently closed and not taking orders at this time. Yours, Jimmy Wright
Answer: Hi Bob. First I must tell you that the store is currently down due to Corona Virus and my ability to ship. Generally: My minimum order for free shipping is $20. If you want to pay an additional shipping charge, then there is no minimum. I tie kebari in the sizes that I list because those sizes make the most sense. I will still tie in alternate sizes in some cases. Alternate colors are based upon the colors that I have in storage. I don't send out for special colors of materials due to the low margin of this business. It's mostly what you see. Thanks for your interest. Lets work to get past this pandemic so we can get back to the things we love. Yours, Jim
Thank you David. Sometimes it get so busy around here that I wonder if I should speed things up. But, that would mean less quality which is a no-go for me. But, my customers have always been understanding of this. Thanks guys!
