After placing my order I had a question regarding an item I purchased. Within 3 hours I heard back from the staff. They answered my question and then provided me additional information to contact Chris Stewart at TenkaraBum. Not only were my questions addressed, I gained more insightful information I was looking for. Thanks Dave
Very fast response and delivery. Materials are just as described. I couldn't be happier with the transaction. Thank you.

Excellent communication and customer services. When I told Jim I was leaving on a trip later in the week, he made sure I got the flies on time and with no extra charge. Thanks Jim! I'll send photos of the fish I catch with my Tenkara Flies.

An that Jim would refund my order, reply back to JIm that i was willing to wait for him to back from his vacation, so i got a e-mail from Jim stated I was next after he complete one order before me.an for that i thank you for staying in touch with his customer.
Thank you Robert. I try to treat customers the way that I would want to be treated.
Great experience. Helpful. Good prices. Nice range of flies from those to, loose in trees to more high end... recommended
Looking for Tenkara flies to buy on the internet and found the Tenkaraflies site... made an order and got them on Saturday... very pleased and will make future orders during the season.
Thanks Robert. Happy to have you as a customer.
The service provided by Jim is unmatched. He responded quickly about the timeline for shipping and advice about the flys choosen. You just don't see that kind of service these days. I am a customer for life.
Thanks Gus. I appreciate the confirmation that my efforts are helpful.
Good communication, product looks great. My first outing went great- just two of the kebari patterns simply to test them out. I ended up with several browns despite it being a heavily fished Colorado river. Cant wait to try the kebaris in smaller water, and cant wait to try out the soft hackles.
Thanks Nate! The water is where it counts.
Excellent customer service. Still waiting on my flies, but they have provided constant updates on production. Really good direct contact with this company.
Thank you Simon. I hope that I am working with you guys in the way that I would want to be treated if I was the customer.
I ordered a large order and my ordered was rushed since I had a fishing trip coming up. Friendly and was easy to work with.
Thanks Sungjin. One of the advantages of purchasing from a small operation is personal service. I'm glad that I could accommodate your timeline. Good luck on your trip.
My experience was excellent. The person fulfilling my order was very proactive and responsive. My order came sooner than I expected. Every question I had was answered completely.
Quality of product was outstanding. I especially like the fact that they could be ordered barbless which is a requirement where I fish. They look great.
Very nice flies, good quality at a great price. Especially compared to big box and chains, they don't hold a candle to the quality of these.
Thank you Justin!
Quality flies. Great prices. Hand made. Timely. Always a pleasure to buy from Tenkara Fly Shop. I will definitely be a return customer.
Thanks Jason, you are timely! I just put your order on the bench and will be tying it up this evening and tomorrow. I'll get back to you soon with tracking. Yours, Jim
The Web site is easy to negotiate and placing an order was a breeze. Though there is no indication the site of when the order will be sent, I received an e-mail from them letting me know when they were close to starting my order. Excellent communication!
Hi Jim, the package arrived in excellent condition and I was stunned at the beauty of the flies. It's evident to me that you love your work! Each fly is a work of art. I'm looking forward to trying them out on the river when I return from business travel. Thank you for great service, and for putting so much of yourself into the flies! VR, Mike - Thanks again Mike. Best of luck on the stream! Jim
Thanks Jim the flies look great and showed up just in time for our trout opener this coming weekend! Can't wait to try them out
I ordered two dozen mixed as a gift for a colleague moving to Japan. Jim was so fast getting the order out. The flies are little works of art and came with beautiful hand made boxes. My colleague was thrilled!
I have been a fly-tier for almost my entire life. Tying a high-quality fly involves more than just following a pattern. The flies supplied by the Tenkara Fly Shop are excellent quality: high-quality materials, correct proportions, and skilled construction. Even though I haven't yet tried them on fish I am certain that if they don't produce the fault lies entirely with me. If you want high quality tenkara flies there is no need to go anywhere else.

Thank you for your review Jeff, and I'm happy that you appreciate your delivery. I do feel that I need to qualify the topic of fast delivery for the benefit of the average customer. Your order was for fly-tying materials, which I ordinarily send out next business day. In the case of kebari which are tied on demand, I usually have a backlog of orders. Again thanks for your glowing approval and best of luck with your tying adventures. Jim
