Pro staff and ambassadors

A small programme, for people who will tell us what is wrong with the flies.

What we are looking for

Not follower counts. We want people who fish enough to form a real opinion and are willing to say when a dressing is off — working guides, instructors, club members, and anglers who fish a particular water hard enough to know it.

It is more useful to us to hear that a hackle is a size too long than to be tagged in a photograph.

What we offer

  • Flies at cost, in the patterns and sizes you actually fish.
  • Early access to new dressings, with the explicit job of telling us what is wrong with them.
  • Your input credited on the pattern page where a fly is changed because of it.
  • A discount code for people you send to us, and a share of what they spend.

What we ask

  • Fish the flies properly and report back honestly, including the failures.
  • Be straightforward about the relationship in anything you post. Undisclosed endorsement is not something we want.
  • No claims about catch rates that you would not defend to another angler.

Applying

Write to us with where you fish, how often, what you guide or teach if you do, and which of our patterns you would want to start with. We keep the programme small deliberately, so we will not take everyone, and we will tell you either way.
