Best Fly Fishing Flies of 2026

"This was my first fly kit and I’m really impressed with how well these flies perform and how many you get in the set. I’ve already caught lots of sunfish and even a couple of trout, and they’re holding up well. Great value for someone just starting out who doesn’t want to spend a lot."

"I’m new to fly fishing, so I trusted my friend’s recommendation and got these. There’s a huge range of sizes, shapes, and colors, and the flies feel well made with sharp hooks. The waterproof box is a plus too. I’m excited to catch some fish soon!"

"I got this set for my grandson, who’s nine and loves fishing. The flies are cute and varied, and I know he’s going to be thrilled with them."

"I've used plenty of floatants, but this one keeps my flies floating way longer and doesn't create a mess on the water. A little goes a long way, and it's super convenient to carry in my pocket. Absolutely the best I've tried."

"After reading a lot of online reviews, I decided to give this a shot. It really keeps my fly dry through a lot of casts, and the price is right. I'll be buying it again!"

"The product works great and has a good consistency, keeping my flies dry even after catching several fish. I've used it on different rivers and had consistently good results."

"As someone teaching kids and beginners, I love that these flies give you lots of options without worrying about losing them. They're surprisingly durable for the price, and they definitely help catch fish, even if you snag a few trees along the way. They're not hand-tied masterpieces, but they get the job done and you won't feel bad about retying after a break-off."

"I'm still learning fly fishing, and this set was perfect for a beginner like me. The flies seem well-made and I was actually surprised by how many fish I caught. The variety makes it easy to try different styles for different situations, and the cost is unbeatable for someone just starting out."

"For the price, you get a ton of flies, which is great when you're practicing or fishing for panfish. The quality isn't top-notch, but they still work well enough. Worth it if you want quantity over premium quality."

"After seeing it featured on Fisherman's Life, I decided to give it a shot. It coats my flies nicely and keeps them dry during use."

"This product delivers excellent water repellency, and because of that, I went ahead and bought the glow-in-the-dark version too. Definitely a great value for the price!"

"I was able to save a soaked dry fly in the middle of a session, and it kept floating perfectly for the rest of the day. Really reliable performance!"

"As a new fly fisher, I found this kit to be the perfect introduction—well-organized, versatile, and ready for action. The box keeps all my flies accessible and makes spontaneous fishing trips a breeze. Great investment for anglers who prioritize convenience."

"This assortment has a huge selection of flies, and the waterproof case is heavy-duty and secure. I love that it includes classic patterns, nymphs, and even poppers for panfish. Ideal kit for getting started!"

"For the price, this kit is a solid choice for beginners. While a couple of flies wore out after several trips, it's a budget-friendly way to learn the ropes and comes with a case you can keep using as your collection grows."

"As someone who enjoys fly fishing for fun and isn't a pro, I found this set to be an excellent deal with good quality flies. The quantity for the price is impressive, and even though I tend to lose a lot of flies, this kit makes it easy to keep going."

"I bought this as a Secret Santa gift for my boss, who's an avid fisherman. He was thrilled with the set and spent a lot of time at our Christmas party talking about all the rivers and fish he plans to try them on. It was a perfect 10/10 gift!"

"I decided to give this set a shot because of the attractive price for 80 flies. The quality seems fine so far, though nothing about the contents truly 'wowed' me. Overall, the value is definitely there."

"I’m really pleased with these flies—they are nicely constructed, come in a great mix of colors, and matched the size description perfectly when they arrived. Honestly, I just wish there were more size options, especially for bigger saltwater fish. Overall, the quality and price exceeded my expectations."

"I picked up these flies because a clouser minnow can sometimes be too much. They’ve helped me catch bass, crappie, perch, and sunfish. While the hook quality is decent and the construction is moderate, the real value is in their ability to catch fish at a great price. I landed a 16-inch bass with the green minnow just today!"

"The flies look fantastic and the quality is impressive—they’ll work well in cloudy water or pretty much anywhere. They might be a bit light, but using a sinkant solves that easily. Packaging was adorable, and I’m beyond happy with my purchase. Looking forward to trying more products from this brand!"

"As someone new to fly fishing, I found this set offered a solid variety of flies and a really practical box. I've already been able to try different styles, and the box is handy for organizing my tackle. Great value for beginners, and I’d recommend it to others starting out."

"I bought this kit as a starting point and was pleased with the quality for the price. I managed to catch a few minnows with the flies, though I do wish the box was a bit roomier for easier access. Overall, it’s a good purchase for learners like me."

"The flies are well made and weighted nicely, and the waterproof case is a bonus. I did have a couple come apart, but for the most part, the quality is impressive for the price point."

"I was a bit skeptical about the quality at this price point, but these flies exceeded my expectations. The hair length and action are great, and the head is well-glued—even after catching a couple of pike, there was no damage. Honestly, these stand up as well as more expensive flies I've used."

"I've tried many similar flies, and these are a solid choice for saltwater. The colors are vibrant, and the hooks feel strong. I did notice some folks mention the heads sliding, but the ones I got had good epoxy work. Overall, I’m happy given the lack of local fly shops."

"These flies are excellent for stripers—the hooks are strong enough for big fish but still flexible if you need to bend them back. The only minor issue is sometimes needing extra glue on the head, but that's a quick fix."

"I was honestly surprised at how realistic and well-crafted these flies are. For just twenty bucks, the set offers great value, and the hooks are sturdy. The box may not be fancy, but it’s waterproof and does the job. I even tossed it in the bathtub to check. I’ll definitely be buying more—these are perfect for anglers who don't want to overspend."

"As a beginner, I didn’t understand why there were multiple of each fly at first, but now I get it! This is a fantastic starter kit with a solid selection. Highly recommend for anyone just starting out."

"You get quite a few flies for the price, but I did notice that some of the dry flies start to unravel after just a few casts. The overall quality could be better, but it’s still a decent deal for the cost."
