Tying Flies
Q: Where are your flies tied?
A: The Selectafly Original Range are hand tied in Kenya. The Pro Range are hand tied for us in Sri Lanka. We work closely with all our suppliers to ensure high standards are maintained and to show them personally how to tie the new patterns we introduce.
Q: I want a fly custom tied – can you help?
A: Yes. Selectafly has specialists in the UK who we work with so we may offer you a custom tying service. Call us on 01753 883366 so we can discuss your exact requirements and advise on pricing and timing (usually, although this does depend on time of year, amounts required and the difficulty of each pattern, it may be possible to get your order completed inside three weeks). A sample of the fly you want is usually required.
Sizing
Q: Can you explain salmon tube sizes?
A: Tubes are now all measured in millimetres. However if you prefer to think in inches these are the equivalents:
1/4" = 06mm
2/5" = 10mm
1/2" = 13mm
3/4" = 19mm
1" = 25mm
1 3/4" = 32mm
1 1/2" = 38mm
Fly Selection
Q: How do you choose the flies for Fly Selections?
A: Our fly selections offer you a discount on buying each fly separately. The individual flies may be subject to change, but will always include the best and most effective range of flies appropriate to their category, providing you a good balance of size and colours.
Incentives
Q: Some companies offer incentives, do you?
A: We think you’d prefer us to keep postage costs to a minimum and our prices as competitive as possible every time you order, rather than offer extra flies or something you haven’t ordered in the first place!
