I've only used them once, but my order arrived quickly and they included a few bonus flies for free. I'd certainly use them again.

placed an order this weekend, should have them soon.
If they don't catch fish they will get a bad review.
No way am i blaming my poor water slapping technique.

I've ordered from them a few times. Excellent quality and service. Sometimes their inventory is a little lacking, but that's understandable.

I've ordered from IFW multiple times, and have happily recommended them to others.

Before you decide to place an order, make sure you take a moment or two to head over to the "sponser" forums section on AO. IFW has a discount code for forum members which is available there.

Hey guys how long does an order usually take?
I ordered some on the 8th and haven't seen them yet.
Do they email when shipping?

Wow great company. Minutes after my post I was contacted and informed when I had ordered and when flies were shipped. A1 service, will definitely buy from them again. Also said if Canada post lost them they would send a new batch.
Love to support a local company and if they have exceptional service all the better. Thanks Icky.

Do they use local fly tiers? Their website is not clear on this.

I just placed an order and within 30 mins on a Saturday the order has been posted.
Have ordered before and was very happy also.
You cant beat this company from what I have seen so far it is high quality and great service and no I have nothing to do with them but this is a good thread to talk about something positive.

No way they can charge $1 per from local tiers. I fully expect they come from Thailand or somewhere, but they're good quality and will survive a fair bit of abuse from the trout.
