What people are saying
Tom
Editor, The Drake
“Here’s why you should care about Flylab: Their gear reviews aren’t just longer; they’re more interesting, more in-depth and more revealing than you’ll find elsewhere.”
Rachel
Fishing Show Consumer
“You aren’t influenced by the brands? You partner with the best fly shops to get us high-end gear with discounts? Membership is $25 for life? What’s the catch?” There isn’t any, Rachel.
Eric
Flylab Member
“Brilliant idea–consumers need a reputable way to evaluate fly-fishing service providers, and the discount model is a no-brainer. Get a new fly rod and the membership basically pays for itself.”
Christian
Fly Fishing Insider Podcast
“I can’t say enough about how much Flylab is changing the landscape of product reviews in fly fishing. What a fantastic solution you’ve provided.”
Anna
Flylab Fan
“Keep doing what you guys are doing and ignore the noise–such a needed fly-fishing media brand and breath of fresh air.”
Wilson
Flylab Fan
“I found your site recently and love what y’all are doing–great concept and content, meaningful reviews and fishing tips without the rampant, self-serving BS…”
