How Commercial Fishing Flies Limited collects, uses and protects your personal data when you browse this shop, create an account or place a wholesale order.
Overview
This policy explains our practices for collecting, using, sharing and safeguarding information when you use the Commercial Fishing Flies website or buy wholesale fishing flies from us. It covers every visitor to the site, whether or not you place an order.
We use your personal data to provide and improve the service, and to fulfil the commercial relationship you enter into with us. By using this website you accept the collection and use of information described here.
Definitions
What we collect
We collect what you type in or send us directly: your name, company name, email address, telephone number, delivery and billing addresses, and the contents of any message or quote request you send. For wholesale accounts this also includes your VAT or PIN details and the payment instructions you prefer.
When you browse the site we record technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring pages, pages visited and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site running, to spot errors and to understand which pages are useful to fly-shopping customers.
We keep a record of what you order, the price agreed, delivery instructions and correspondence. Payment card details are never stored on our systems — card payments are processed by our payment provider and only the resulting transaction reference is retained.
How we use it
Your personal information is never sold, rented or traded to third parties for their own marketing. We share it only with the partners who help us fulfil your order — our courier and payment providers — and only to the extent needed to do that.
Legal bases
Where the law requires a lawful basis for processing personal data, we rely on one of the following:
Cookies
We use cookies to make the site work properly. Most interactive websites use them to retrieve your details on each visit; here they enable the cart, keep you signed in and remember your preferences such as language and currency. Some of our advertising and analytics partners may also set cookies of their own.
You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings, though please note that disabling them will stop the cart and login from functioning. The cookies we set are not used to build a profile of you for advertising without your agreement.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share what we hold with:
Every partner is limited to using the data for the purpose we hand it over for. If we ever move data outside Kenya, we will make sure the same protections apply.
Storage and security
All the information you give us is stored on servers protected by access controls and encryption in transit. Access to customer records is limited to staff who need it to do their job, and access is logged.
We keep order and invoice records for as long as Kenyan tax and accounting law requires. Information tied to an enquiry that never became an order is deleted or anonymised once it is no longer useful.
Your rights
Subject to the law, you have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to correct anything inaccurate, to ask us to delete it, to object to certain uses, and to withdraw consent where you gave it.
To exercise any of these rights, email sales@commercialfishingflies.com with the subject line “Data request”. We will respond within thirty days and we will not charge you for making a request.
Children
This shop is a trade supplier for fishing flies and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time, for instance when we change what we collect or when the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and any material change will be summarised there.
Contact
Questions about this policy, or about the data behind your account, are welcome. Write to sales@commercialfishingflies.com or visit our workshop at Mombasa Road Mall 457, Nairobi 00200, Kenya.
Read how payment works before you order, and we will have your per-dozen price list ready to send.
Trusted by tackle shops, lodges, guides and distributors worldwide
"We supply six tackle shops in Texas and Commercial Fishing Flies has been our main bulk source for two seasons. Every dozen arrives boxed, sorted by size and ready for the wall."
"Five hundred dozen assorted nymphs for our spring promotion, delivered in eleven days and landed 38% under our old wholesaler. The margin made the season."
"The custom tying service keeps us loyal. We send a photo of a discontinued pattern and get back twenty dozen that match the original."
"Our lodge on the White River burns through sixty dozen a month. At that volume only consistency matters, and they have never sent a weak batch."
"First wholesale order was 40 dozen streamers for the pike season. Hooks are sharp, eyes are epoxied properly and the tails do not foul."
"Very good bulk quality and honest lead times. I would like the saltwater range expanded, but everything we do stock sells quickly."
"We compared their size 14 Adams against two European brands at double the price. Ours sold faster because the hackle sits better."
"Ordered 1,200 dozen mixed drys for a distributor in Dubai. Packing was export-grade and not one carton was crushed."
"Their team quoted landed cost to Mombasa, cleared the paperwork and shipped in the same week. That is rare with fly suppliers."
"The barbless range is now the only barbless we carry. Guides buy it by the hundred because the points hold on hard takes."
"Bulk pricing that still leaves room for retail margin. We moved from 30% to 46% markup on flies without raising shop prices."
"Custom colours on the Woolly Bugger for our club order, matched to a Pantone swatch. They nailed it on the first attempt."
"Two years, nine shipments, zero short counts. For a wholesale account that is the whole review."
"Solid flies, clean tying, good prices. Freight to Chile took a week longer than quoted, but the paperwork was flawless."
"Their egg patterns survive a whole steelhead season on the Salmon River. The chenille does not unravel after a dozen fish."
"We buy 200 dozen jig flies a quarter for a chain of three shops. Sizing is measured, not eyeballed."
"They agreed to tie a local Lake Victoria pattern from a hand sketch. It out-fished everything else we had that week."
"The sample pack convinced our buying committee. Twelve patterns, all fishable, and the invoice matched the quote to the cent."
"Chemically sharpened hooks, not just claimed. We tested 300 flies for point failure and found two, both from my own bad storage."
"Shipping to Vancouver is normally a headache. Their DDP option landed the cartons at our door with nothing to chase."
"Our guide service orders every February. Fifteen dozen per guide, labelled per guide. It saves us a full day of sorting."
"Their pheasant tails and hares ears are the neatest bulk nymphs we have stocked. No loose dubbing, no glue streaks."
"The wholesale portal makes reordering a two-minute job instead of an email chain. Small thing, big time saver."
"Great value overall. The midge range needs more size 22 options, but the 18s are perfect."
"We resell to four camps in Alaska. Their flies hold up to guests who have never cast before, which says everything about durability."
"The clousers came with proper lead eyes, not painted plastic. That detail alone decided our repeat order."
"Bulk order of 60 dozen CDC emergers, all with even fibres and no crushed quills. Quality control is real here."
"They shipped a replacement carton after the courier dropped one, before we had even finished photographing the damage."
"We asked for fly-box-ready dozen packs for a corporate gift order. They built the packaging and hit the deadline."
"Their price list has not moved in 18 months, which let us plan margins properly for the first time."
"The intruder patterns we get here are tied tight and swing straight. Steelheaders in our area ask for them by name."
"Sample dozen of the San Juan worms was fished hard for a month before we placed the real order. Not one fell apart."
"Dependable supplier with clear communication. I would score five if the online stock levels updated live."
"Our order of 300 dozen arrived with every fly in its own compartment box. Retail-ready without extra labour."
"Custom size 6 hoppers with our shop logo printed on the box. Customers thought we had started tying in-house."
"We ship to Norway, so hook quality is everything in salt air. Zero rust complaints across two seasons."
"Their bulk quote for our five-year supply contract beat three local tenders and the audit passed without a note."
"The foam beetle bodies are properly sealed. They float for a full day guiding, not twenty casts."
"Two of our guides fished the whole sample pack against their own boxes. They now order their personal flies here too."
"Their custom streamer heads are balanced, so the fly tracks straight instead of spinning. That is not common at this price."
"Good communication and fair pricing. A few of the size 10 woolly buggers had slightly long tails, but they fished fine."
"We ordered 80 dozen for a charity tournament. Every fly was fishable and the delivery landed a day early."
"They hold stock of our three best-selling patterns year round. Reordering on a Friday and restocking Monday is normal now."
"Bulk account setup was painless and the invoices are export-ready. Our accountant no longer queries them."
"The midge and buzzer range is what we buy most. Tied sparse, which is how fish actually take them."
"They price per dozen, per hundred and per thousand, so we can scale a promotion without renegotiating."
"Our lodge shop opened with their starter consignment of 100 dozen. It sold out in six weeks with no discounting."
"Order got held at customs and their team sent the documents again within the hour. That is what a supplier should be."
"Ten gross of assorted trout flies, all labelled by pattern and size. Stocktaking took an afternoon instead of a weekend."
