Hand-tied.Shipped.Built on Trust.
Independent tyers, selling direct on a platform designed around trust. Your payment is held until the flies are in your hands. We are not taking orders yet — this is the shop we are building.
A DM is not a store
Flies move on Instagram, in club meetings, and through a friend of a friend. When the box never shows, the money is already gone. Generic marketplaces will take the order — they just don't know a size 16 Adams from a streamer, and they don't hold the payment until it lands.
What we're building
A shop for hand-tied flies
We are starting a marketplace where tyers sell their own work with a trusted service to protect everyone.
Buy flies
Patterns from independent tyers, listed by hatch, species, and hook size — not a photo dump in a chat thread.
Sell direct
You list under your own name. No listing fees. Seller fees stay low: 5% plus 30¢ when the order pays out.
We hold the payment
You pay at checkout. The tyer gets paid after the flies arrive. If the box never shows, the money comes back to you.
Funds are secure until the flies arrive
How TiedTrueFlies works
This is escrow. We hold the payment until the box is in your hands — no arrival, no payout. It protects the tyer as much as it protects you.

Questions
FAQ
Why use this platform?
A DM is not a store. This is the only true fly tying marketplace that focuses on fly fishing with the security for buyer & seller in mind. Flies sold on Instagram or in a club chat only reach people who already know the tyer, and the post is gone in a week. Every shop and listing here is a public page — pattern name, hook size, materials, photos — written so search engines can read it. Someone looking for a Parachute Adams or a size 16 pheasant tail can land on the fly without knowing who tied it. Buyers get escrow on every order. Tyers get a shop people can find.
Why sell here?
No listing fees — putting a fly up costs nothing, and nothing to keep it up. This is the only true fly tying marketplace that focuses on fly fishing with the security for buyer & seller in mind. Seller fees stay low: 5% plus 30¢ per order, taken when the payout releases. The shop is a public page people can find in search, and every sale sits in escrow until the box arrives.
Is it safe to buy flies here?
Every order is held in escrow. Stripe takes the payment at checkout and we do not release it to the tyer until the flies arrive. If something is wrong, you have three days after delivery to open an issue and freeze the payout.
