Hi all

Over the past 6 year of uncertain economics i have kept my fly prices the same.
Due the rising prices everywhere I will be putting the fly prices up by $0.50.
Currently nymphs are only $3 beaded nymphs, dries and lures (with some exceptions) are only $3.50.
Remember these are quality nz made flies. None sourced from overseas factories
These prices will hold till Friday.
Duck in now while the fly prices are low and grab your winter goodies

***EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF NZ FISHING FLIES***

Hey guys I have major news incoming so it would be great if you could give this post a minute of your time, thanks.

From the 27th of April I'll be closed for 8 days while I move my shop out and back into central Taumarunui. In fact I'm moving back into the same small one way street as I was before and into a newly refurbished larger store!

My new space is awesome, it's going to have enough space to increase my range of fly tying gear and supplies BUT and here's the big news It's large enough to host classes, lessons, information evenings and I am even toying with the possibility of starting a local anglers club.

Any orders placed between 27th April and the 5th May will be subject to a longer than usual manufacture time and I'll be contacting customers that may be affected. If you're thinking of making the trip or plan on popping in between 27th April and the 4th May you'll need to drop me a line. Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts on what kinds of lessons and info evenings you'd be keen on and I'm looking foward to seeing you all in the new store. I'll be posting updates and photos for those interested and linking all my online contact info to the new address closer to reopening. Right now this is all you can see.

With the price of tungsten beads about to go through the roof ive taken a last delivery at the regular price $8.50 per pack of 20.
There are only 97 packs of kindale tungsten beads left at this price. Grab yours now before they double or triple in price with future deliveries.
