Morning,

I hope you had a great weekend - I know I did - it wasn't fishing related, but my son and I made the pilgrimage to Wembley (for the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final) - for once our team came out on the winning side (just) and we made our way back north to Barbless Flies HQ very happy - it's the first time we'd won anything in 40 years!

We've managed to get hold of some other specialist 'small fly' fly lines from Snowbee - see the very end of this email for more details - they are perfect for Summer fishing and great value for money!

On the previous Friday, whilst travelling down to London, I caught up with Jeff Jones (fly box maker extraordinaire) and he's sent us the remaining stock of his wonderful pocket-sized oak fly boxes, we received them in the office yesterday - if you've never seen one of Jeff's hand-made oak fly boxes before, you're in for a real treat, see below:

My recent long-form article over on our "The Fly Fishing EDGE" subscription platform about Fly Box Organisation seems to have struck a bit of a chord with lots of you - judging by the emails I've received over the last few months, all centred around two subjects:

1. Saying what an easy way it is to organise your flies, whilst taking much less to the water; and
2. Asking if we could make them available to buy through Barbless Flies

The real difficulty with making a seasonal fly box available to buy 'off the shelf' is that Rivers and Stillwaters across the country have different fly life at different times of the year.

We did something very similar for Gary a few weeks back, he left us a fantastic review:

Thanks Gary, We love reviews like that 

As it's Fathers Day on Sunday, I thought I would combine Jeff's stunning boxes with our Summer Fly Concierge Service - we're also going to include FREE 1st Class Tracked delivery (only available to UK deliveries), so you will receive the flies and box before the weekend.

Our Concierge Service makes a perfect, unique, gift to your Father (or to yourself) - please feel free to forward this email to a loved one if you would like them to order one for you!

Just like a Concierge at a hotel, there is no reason why we can't provide a personal service and curate sets of flies specific to you (or your Father) and the waters you / they fish - all we need to know is which part of the country you fish in and we can do the rest. We have over 2,000 different patterns in the warehouse, so the flies themselves aren't an issue!

Each one of Jeff's oak boxes will contain a minimum of 40 of our best quality flies, along with the box of flies you will also receive a document explaining which flies are included in your box and information on how to get the best from each of the patterns.

Here's how the process will work:

1. You place your order for the seasonal curated fly selection through our website - you can click on any image or button contained within this email to view the Summer Concierge Fly Selection.
2. Once you receive your order confirmation email, reply to it giving me the following details: your name, your order number and the location where you would like the flies for (please be as specific as possible). Please also include any extra information which you think is necessary, i.e. if there are any specific restrictions on your water.
3. I will do the research into the flies for your particular area.
4. I will then personally put the full fly selection together and ship them to you - 1st Class tracked, so it will arrive before the weekend.
