Just a quick question. I was browsing his website today and noticed basically all the "popular" flys and packs sold out. These restocked pretty quickly and updated on the website or does it require contacting them via website with what you want instead. Just curious as I would like to pop a order through.

I noticed the sane thing. I had never heard of them until I seen this thread. Checked out the site and like you said the popular ones seemed to be sold out. Hopefully someone can answer your question as I would love to put in an order.

I have a couple questions.

Are these source overseas or are they locally tied?

What brand of hook are you using to tie. That question is key when thinking of using a size 14 fly to target 6 inch perch, 13 in brookies, 17 inch cutties or 25 inch rainbows.

Thanks and I look forward to using them.

Question for others...does anyone every dab a little head cement on new dry flies? I find trout teeth can cause them to unravel and I find these flies often don't use cement...extra tying time.

Hiya Sundance.

We source overseas and ask that Mustad hooks plus proper finishing with head cement be used. We do stand behind the product we sell so send me an e-mail if you have any concerns.

To England & DangerRanger - we have new stock on order. Unfortunately, we've had multiple delays from our supplier but it should be here soon.

Regards,
Ben

Tried to place an order with my discount code from previous order. It says my code is not valid. Expires 30th Aug.

Can someone from Icky reach out to me please?


Thanks!

Emailed twice, haven't heard back. Figured I'd reach out to him here. Couldn't find a phone number for them on the website.

I use Icky (past few yrs) and have always been pleased with the flies ...good quality, great price.
Just wondering (forgive me if this has been mentioned), anyone know when they update their inventory? Seems they rarely add new flies and it still says on the left side of homepage under products "New for 2016"? It's 2018 now, hoping to see some new additions to the inventory list this spring? They have most of what I need already (when in stock) but there's a few flies I still really wish they had.

If you email Ben, he will probably be able to do a custom order of flies for you if you have particular ones in mind. I ordered two dozen flies not listed on the website from his once.

When do you think you will have the new patterns in stock and available on the site

I would love to see some big pike streamers available if you can get those in.
