Bespoke Fly Tying Costs
The cost of bespoke fishing flies depends on the type of fly, materials used, hook choice and overall complexity. Because every project is different, pricing is discussed once we understand your exact requirements.
What Affects the Price?
- Fly style and pattern complexity
- Premium or specialist materials
- Hook type and size range
- Quantity ordered
Minimum Order Guidance
Bespoke orders are generally based on a minimum of 50 flies per pattern, although these can be tied in a range of sizes within the same design. This helps maintain consistency while keeping pricing fair and achievable.
If you’re unsure about quantities or materials, we’re happy to talk through options and find the right balance between performance, design and cost.
