Our story

One bench in Nairobi.
A world of fly shops.

Johnflies Fly Factory Ltd was founded in Nairobi in 2010 with a simple idea: tie flies so well, and price them so honestly, that fly shops never need to look elsewhere.

Sixteen years on, our tyers hand-tie thousands of flies every week for dealers and distributors in America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We work to the seasons and the entomology of the waters our customers fish — trout rivers, stillwaters, salmon runs and salt flats — so the patterns on your wall are the patterns that sell.

Every fly is tied by a trained tyer, checked on the bench and packed to survive the journey. If it would not go in our own box, it does not leave ours.

How custom and private-label tying works

What we tie

Every water, covered.

Four families of flies, tied to order in dozens — or in thousands, under your own label.

Why shops reorder

Built for wholesale, priced for retail.

Factory-direct per dozen

No middlemen. You buy at the price the factory quotes, in dozens.

No minimum order

Order one dozen or one thousand — the same per-dozen price.

Hand-tied, bench-checked

Every fly is inspected by a second pair of eyes before packing.

Custom & private label

Send a photo or a sample. We copy it, or tie it under your brand.

Consistent supply

Capacity for large, repeatable orders — season after season.

Tracked worldwide shipping

DHL courier to your door, with a money-back guarantee.
