About Us
History
Selectafly was formed in 1980 - possibly the very first mail order fly seller in the UK. In 2012 Jessica and Martin Webster bought the business from the retiring founders. Selling three ranges of our own flies plus all the entire Fulling Mill range we now offer 3,500+ patterns covering almost all fly-fishers’ needs worldwide. All our flies are made by longstanding partners in Kenya and Sri Lanka, traditional ‘homes’ of fly tying.

Our Ranges
- Original Range – is where Selectafly began. Great looking, durable flies tied with Veniard materials on Kamasan hooks – usually half the price of the same fly from Fulling Mill.
- Pro Range – the very best hooks and materials combined perfectly to create superb flies. It’s here you’ll find many of our newest, most innovative patterns.
- Barbless Range – top selling lures, wets, dries and nymphs – all on the correct specialist barbless hook for that pattern.
- Fulling Mill – a name familiar to fly fishers all around the world. Huge range, great quality and lots of new patterns from top fly fishers.
And More... Accessories
Selectafly also offers you a choice of carefully chosen items that we have researched and selected because we feel they are the best and we use them ourselves! So if you want fluorocarbons - as well as Fulling Mill's World Class and Master Class we also stock Stroft, the world’s best monofilament*, or Seaguar Soft Plus fluorocarbon*, a wide choice of boxes and reliable tools we can supply!
*Don’t just take our word for it - these tippet materials both came top of their respective classes in the prestigious and comprehensive Yellowstone Angler ‘tippet shootout’ reported in Fly Fisherman Magazine.
