I was pleasantly surprised with the flies. Usually we have to pay big bucks for quality flies in my area. On my first trip with your flies I caught trout on the March brown and grizzly wulff. I have already given your website address to my colleagues.

Hey Tom, I got the flies you sent me. They are fantastic. Thank You! Fished some of the streamers today. Also, do you tie the single hook streamers in size 12 or smaller? For some of the small streams I fish, I use size 12 streamers like Mickey Finns etc... If you can let me know, I'd like to order some. Thanks again, look forward to ordering more flies in the future.

The wet flies look very nice.  I won't get a lot of chance to use them until the spring but I am a great believer in wets and yours looked good, so I thought I would try them.  thanks.  Bryan (PS native of Connecticut who met my wife in Portland, ME)




Tom: Just wanted to let you know that of the two dozen tandem streamers I purchased from you last year the best performer was the Grand Laker. The more beat up the fly the better it performed. I must have caught at least a dozen salmon on each of the two Grand Lakers that I had in the boat. I will definitely be ordering more of those in addition to some of my other favorites prior to leaving for Grand Lake Stream area around ice-out this year. Again, thanks for the quality products, they are well made, troll consistently well, and they do catch fish!

Tom & Claire, My 3 friends and I have all sent you a similar order, for our trip to Lac Holt, Canada. We are pleased to say your prices seem competitive and the web site looks great, and is easy to navigate. The Outfitter claims the fish we are after, are very aggressive, we will let you know how your product holds up. Thanks for the personal touch of a confirmation!

Tom, I received my order yesterday!  Awesome flies!  I can’t wait to try them.  Your recommendations on the Green Hornet and Green Olive beauty were right on!!  Thanks again for the great service.

Tom & Claire,   Thank you for sending the flies you could, out so quickly, I really appreciate it. The Royal Red Humpy is fine thanks for adding it to my order. I'm just getting back into fly-fishing and can't wait to hit the brooks and ponds. I have heard good things about you and I look forward to doing business with you. Thanks again!

Thanks Tom. As I told you on the phone, "I am very impressed and pleased with the quality and the packaging is great too". The hooks are also very sharp. The olive green buggers are exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely tell others about your quality and excellent service. I'm sure I'll be buying from you again sometime soon. Thanks again,

Jerry


I received my order today. Great flies! I was really pleased with the quality of your flies. Thanks.

Geoffrey


Hi Tom, The flies look terrific. Thank you! I look forward to doing business with you again.

Thanks so much Tom. Your site and service are both great and I will certainly spread the word to all my fishing friends. Best,

Eric


Hi Tom,  I am very impressed with your flies. I will be placing a large order soon!

Steve


I've touted your shop on my travels as a great source for excellent USA flies to numerous folks around the country-hope it's given you some business. 

Squeak


Thanks guys. I placed another order last night. I have tied flies for years but work and business is making it increasingly difficult to find the time. I am very particular from whom I buy flies. All the flies I receive from you are top class and extremely good value. Will continue to shop at Benton. Best regards for the new year.

Joe


Thank you for such prompt service- I was expecting to have to wait awhile.  The choices on the site are awesome and yours is definitely the best site I came across.  I'm looking forward to giving the flies a try and I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers!

Tom & Claire Just have to say, even if I haven't fished the almost 8 dozen flies, for $53,  I ordered last Friday, June 29th, and received on July 3rd, I am very impressed with the quality of your flies. From the size 18 Trico male spinner to the #4 Grey Ghost, I don't see a flaw in them.  I showed them to my neighbor who works for a rather well known outdoors outfitter in Freeport,  Maine, and he couldn't believe the price or the quality.  I know I will be back for sure.

Hi Tom, I just got the Flies in the mail !  Great service !    The flies look terrific and I am sure they will work great for the picky Trout.  My buddy killed them with Copper Johns  both Std and red,  and i hod none of these # 18 flies. I  am now armed for bear. I will be your sales person here in Cal. Thanks again for the quick service. Tight lines,

Fernando


8/13/12 Wow!  Thanks much.  I have lots of friends with whom I fish for bream on Lake Austin.  I discovered that these types of flies are what catches them the most.  Your flies are considerably less expensive than the ones we buy here, even with the shipping cost.  You can be sure we will be buying flies from you again in the future.    

Pete


8/23/12 Tom & Claire, Flies arrived this morning.  They look great now I’ll have to see if they’ll catch fish. Thanks for the quick service.

Cliff


12/17/12 Hi Folks, I meant to write you last time,but forgot. I am really impressed with your selection,quality and prices. I can't say enough!  You do a great  job  and I needed to  tell you that!  Many thanks and a Merry Christmas!  

Fred Sullivan


2/5/13 Hi Tom, I received the flies today and they look great. Looking forward to catching some nice gills this spring. I will get a check in the mail tomorrow. Did you catalog the fly and name it so I can order more in the future? A friend of mine will probably want some also. Thanks,

Steve


2/21/13 Your welcome! Your flies are good, prices are great and you folks are so responsive and friendly.

Byron


2/24/13 Tom, thanks, im new to fly fishing. just started in April last year. always used spinning rods. my first time out with a $50 fly setup I caught more trout than the last 10 years. Needless to say a week later I had much better equipment. Then came the steelhead. Fly fishing has renewed my love of fishing and now my son and I are learning together. Look forward to wetting your flies and doing more business with you.




3/6/13 Tom/Claire, Over the years you have totally come through and I realized that all the flies I tie just do not compare to yours. I have recommended you to my brothers and friends as well so look for their orders. What is amazing is I can't tie flies for what you charge and just want you to know your flies are very well tied! Thanks again. Tight Lines my friend!




3/19/13 I received my flies today they look great, hope to do business with you again soon. Thanks!

Mike


3/23/13 I just received my fly order.  I don't normally provide feedback to web businesses; however, in this instance I must. The quality and detail of the tying coupled with very competitive pricing make Benton's a very rare discount fly merchant.  In fact, you may be undervaluing your product!   I will without hesitation be a repeat customer! Thank you for providing a rare service in today's market. PS - The individual plastic bagging; boxing and handwritten identification of the flies was my first indicator that the quality of flies was going to be noteworthy.

Pete


Tom, Thank-you for the kind words and for your generosity. I remain very happy with your flies and have even just this past week recommended you to one of my friends at work. In addition to the quality of your flies, appreciate the packaging you do to keep them pristine until they arrive at my door.




Tom...thank you for your help....I appreciate doing business with you...I’ll be ordering again from you in the future.

Barney


Hi Tom…The flies arrived today – wow, that’s fast service! They look good. Thanks a million.

Chris


Arrived back in NM late yesterday afternoon; your package was the first mail I opened. The flies look great and I will be putting another order together shortly. I will pass your cards long to some friends in Anchorage. Enjoy the holidays. Cheers!

Craig


Tom…Got the flies today. It was like Christmas morning. The flies are beautiful! I will be ordering many more. Thanks again.

Craig V.


Got the order yesterday and everything looks great! Thanks for taking care of it so quickly and shipping fast. I’m sure they’ll be killers up in Labrador! Take care.

Deryn


Tom My flies arrived today, and to say I'm pleased would be an understatement! Tom you did an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier with the quality of your work. I could not have hoped for better quality, you are truly a master of your trade. I will be ordering more of your flys soon. I have just taken a new job with the U.S. Marshal's as a court security officer at the Fed. courthouse. We will be transferred to the Fed. courthouse at Mannoth hot springs in Yellowstone park. I will be moving to Livingston Mt. the first week of Feb. The yellowstone river runs right through town, so I guess I'll get a chance to get those flys wet before to long. Again thanks for the great job you did for me.

Duane Lewis


Thanks so much Tom. Your site and service are both great and I will certainly spread the word to all my fishing friends.

Eric


Received the flies today and want to thank you for the gift. Never heard of the Jackass but am going to try it for landlocked salmon at Libby’s Camps in May. If I catch one on it I will let ya know.

Eugene


Hi Tom, The flies look terrific. Thank you! I look forward to doing business with you again.

FD


I received my order today. Great flies! I was really pleased with the quality of your flies. Thanks.

Geoffrey


Hello Tom…I received my purple bodied flies today. You hit it right on the nose! Great job. I'm looking forward to my wet fly order also…I can't wait to try the purple pattern out…I'm impressed with your wet fly patterns also. I haven't seen some of those patterns since I was a kid. … It is good to see those old patterns being preserved. Thanks again for tying those purple flies.

Gerry W.


Received the flies today. As always, great product. Have recommended you to others, expect to do so some more in the future. Thank-you for the dozen additional quality flies, and also and in particular for taking the time to mount and annotate them 2 by 2. Courtesy like that is a rare thing, and I count myself fortunate to have been on the receiving end in this case. Best Wishes...

Harry S.


The order arrived, and I am pleased by the service and the quality. Thanks!

Howard B.


Tom& Claire, I received the two orders today; I am extremely pleased with the service and the quality of the flies. I also thank you for the gift Caddis and Humpies. I know I'll enjoy them. Thanks again and I will be back! Sincerely,

Jack Gorham


I received the flies last week and I was very pleased with them. The Mouse rats are my favorite and I hope that the bass will like them as much as I do!

Jamie

Thanks, I just received them today. They look like exactly what I was looking for. I hope they fish as good as they look. Thanks for all your efforts in providing these for me.

Joe


I received my order last night. First off, thanks for the freebies!! I'm delighted with all the flies. For the life of me I can't see how you're able to offer both quality and price in the same fly. NICE JOB Benton Fly Box!!!! I have, and will continue to, recommend you to friends and acquaintances.

John B.


Tom…Just a note to let you know I’ve received the flies I ordered. They appear to be high quality flies and hope to be fishing them this weekend.

John B.


Hey Tom, Got the flies already caught a few fish with them actually you will surely receive more orders from me ...good quality flies.... Thanks,

Jon


Thanks for noticing and for giving me the shipping credit - that is very good of you - I will pay attention to that and will order in lots of $50 or more. Thanks.

Lawrence
