Christmas - It's an Annual thing - The Barbless Flies 2026 Annual (Pre-Orders Now Open)

Morning,

It’s that time of year again — the Barbless Flies 2026 Annual is now available to pre-order.

We’ve spent months crafting this year’s edition: every page is brand new, written from scratch, and packed with fresh thinking on both river and stillwater fly fishing.

No recycled material — just real, useful, 'on-the-water' insight.

Please Note: This is a pre-order for our Barbless Flies 2026 Annual. This will be shipped to you week beginning 8th December and we can guarantee delivery before Christmas for all deliveries within the United Kingdom.

Why We’re Doing Pre-Orders
(and why it matters today)

On Monday afternoon, we send the final artwork to our printers. At that point, we have to give them an exact quantity for the print run.

Because we print in small, high-quality batches, we rely on pre-orders to know the right number to produce:

  • Enough copies for everyone who wants one
  • Without over-ordering or creating waste; and
  • Ensuring we keep the quality high (as always)

This also means something important ...

👉 Once we submit Tuesday’s print order, we can’t guarantee more copies will be available.

If you want to make sure you get one, today’s pre-order window is the only way to guarantee it.
