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.
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.
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
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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)
I have been a fly-tier for almost my entire life. Tying a high-quality fly involves more than just following a pattern. The flies supplied by the Tenkara Fly Shop are excellent quality: high-quality materials, correct proportions, and skilled construction. Even though I haven't yet tried them on fish I am certain that if they don't produce the fault lies entirely with me. If you want high quality tenkara flies there is no need to go anywhere else.
I ordered two dozen mixed as a gift for a colleague moving to Japan. Jim was so fast getting the order out. The flies are little works of art and came with beautiful hand made boxes. My colleague was thrilled!
