Richard McC, VT
Awesome, thank you so much
I will be sure to tag you guys on social media. What a quick and helpful response to my questions about some of your materials. That’s amazing customer service right there. Thank you so much, absolute lifesaver.
Kyle C, VA
Cheers! A mistake turns in a win
Just wanted to let you know that a small mistake turned into a great customer experience. I had an item missing from an order, I let you know and received the item today (in record time) and some stickers as an apology. As silly as it is, this old guy collects stickers from all sorts of places and I was "chuffed" (as the English say) to receive them. Many, many thanks. Keep up the great work.
Brad R, SC
Once again, great service
Thank you so much for your excellent service. Quick and helpful response. You folks are amazing!
Alan S, OR
Great job team
Thank you. You guys are the greatest. I am a retired business coach (44 years) and greatly appreciate the way you guys do business. You have a customer for as long as fish are biting my flies.
Michael S, WA
Thanks for going the extra mile
Thanks for the carefully packaged, swiftly sent tying materials that arrived in today’s mail! I love tying with peacock herl, but know that it can be fragile. I was at first confused by the size and shape of the package, wondering if I had inadvertently ordered a poster. After opening, I was pleased to see that you had attached the herl packets to a card that would hold them in place and keep them from sliding or twisting in the mail. Thanks again!
Mick McC, TX
J. Stockard, you are the best
Thank you for offering the best in fly tying materials and for consistently great customer service. I am a customer for life.
Dave B, MI
Congratulations!!
I’m sending my THANK YOU to the team for years of incredible service. I’ve been trying for 55 years. I’ve watched fly tying materials explode into synthetics far beyond anything I would have imagined. As a kid in the 60’s and 70’s, I hunted and harvested most of my own materials. I thought it would always be that way. But thanks to folks like you, we have a world of great choices at our fingertips.
Jeff B, UT
Top notch delivery
I appreciate how much care you take in sending my materials. You always package my order in zip-lock bags. This is unique and others don't bother to separate items like you do. Nice going, J Stockard.
Terrence D, NH
The best there is
You guys are great, and honestly your customer service is the best there is. I've been mail ordering fly fishing stuff for over 25 years, and online shopping for at least 12 years, dealt with a BUNCH of places and J. Stockard really stands out! I'm in a place where there are no fly shops nearby, but I feel like you guys are my local shop. Please pass on my thanks to everyone there.

What materials are available to create different fly patterns?
We offer a wide range of materials for creating various fly patterns. You’ll find natural items like rabbit fur, deer hair, and peacock herl, as well as synthetic materials from adhesive eyes to Z-Yarn. We also offer a wide selection of feathers, including grizzly hackle and saddle hackle, perfect for tying dry flies and streamers. Foam materials are available for tying buoyant flies, while tungsten slotted beads and wire are essential for weighted patterns like nymphs and jigs.
We even have specialty hooks, materials, and supplies like tube fly vise attachments, articulated shanks for game changers, and crappiejig tying material. Our range of materials and fly fishing supplies ensures that you have everything you need to tie a variety of flies, from delicate dry flies to durable saltwater patterns.
How can I maintain and organize my fly tying tools and materials?
To keep your fly tying supplies, tools, and materials organized, we recommend using a tool caddy and clear plastic containers for easy access and visibility. Labeling each container with the type of material (e.g., saddle hackle, Veevus thread, dubbing) will make it easier to find what you need during your tying sessions.
Organizing your tools with something like Hareline's Foamanizer and regularly cleaning them, especially scissors and vises, will ensure they last longer and perform better.
What is the best way for a beginner to start fly tying?
For beginners, starting with a fly tying kit is an ideal way to get into the craft. At J. Stockard, we offer kits that include all the essential tools and materials you need to start tying basic patterns. Our beginner kits typically come with a vise, bobbin, scissors, hooks, thread, and feathers. Our kits focus on foundational materials to help you develop your skills.
Once you’ve mastered basic dry flies, nymphs, and streamers, you can explore more advanced techniques like the tube fly and game changer with materials available in our comprehensive inventory.
Do you offer any discounts or sale prices?
Yes, we frequently offer discounts on a wide variety of fly tying supplies and fly fishing supplies. We feature a "This Month’s Deals" section where you can find current promotions, such as discounts on top hook brands, tying materials, and tools. Our Frequent FLY-er program also rewards loyal customers with 3% back on purchases.
What are the best fly patterns for specific fish species?
Different fish species respond to particular patterns at different times of year in different locations. It's all about what the fish happen to be eating at the time you're fishing. J. Stockard Fly Fishing has the fly tying gear you need to tie flies to target whatever you're angling for, from essential trout, bass, and salmon to exciting pike, musky, tarpon, and everything else.
For trout, effective patterns include woolly buggers, pheasant tail nymphs, and hare’s ear nymphs, which use materials like saddle hackle, tungsten beads, and rabbit fur. Bass, on the other hand, including smallmouth bass and peacock bass, are often attracted to larger streamers tied with bucktail or synthetic foam poppers. For salmon, consider being ready with eggs, shrimp, and tube flies made with some of our synthetic fibers. For saltwater big game, giant synthetic streamers and articulated flies will be your best bet.
Our diverse inventory makes finding fly tying supplies for any species easy.

What essential fly fishing tackle do I need to get started with fly fishing?
To start fly fishing, you'll need some basics--proper casting gear, including a quality fishing rod and fishing reel, fishing line, and a selection of flies tailored to your target species and environment. A drag system on your reel is also helpful for handling stronger fish. Additional essentials, like waders and polarized sunglasses, are highly recommended for river navigation and for spotting fish beneath the water.
Saltwater fly fishing, especially for species like bonefish, requires gear that can withstand saltwater conditions. Opt for a corrosion-resistant reel with a smooth drag system and a fishing line designed for saltwater. A strong, durable braid is often a good choice for both your main line and leader. For your fly fishing outfit, our saltwater jig fly tying supplies and materials are excellent for crafting flies suited to saltwater species.
How can I maximize the durability of my flies?
For maximum durability, nylon thread combined with a small amount of cement or silicone can help keep materials securely attached, especially for flies that undergo heavy use. The cement reinforces thread wraps to prevent unraveling, while silicone can add a layer of water resistance, which is especially beneficial for dry flies, which will stay buoyant longer.
