If you run a fly shop, an outfitting operation or a distribution business, the supplier you choose has to be predictable. A pattern that arrives right once and wrong the next time costs you a customer.
Vikings Fishing Tackles supplies the trade from a fly-tying workshop in Lusingetti, Kikuyu, Kenya, where every fly is tied to an agreed specification and checked before it is packed. We are not a mass-production plant that added a wholesale line; the workshop was built around the craft from the start, and that is what your shelves and your reorders depend on.
Partnering with us gives your business the full catalogue plus patterns made to your own specification, components selected from specialist suppliers rather than bought on price, and a team small enough that the same people handle your first order and your fiftieth. Your shelves get a product with a story behind it — skill, consistency and care — instead of an anonymous production line.
Our workshop pairs experienced tyers with a newer generation learning the craft on site. Every fly is tied at the vice rather than mass-manufactured, and the pattern library keeps expanding in step with what anglers are asking for in different markets.
We source premium-grade materials, including furs, skins, and floss, from established suppliers in Germany, the USA, and the UK. Our hooks come from leading manufacturers in Japan, Korea, Norway, and France, and we work with recognised industry brands including Kumho, Daiichi, VMC, Mustad, and TMC. This global sourcing strategy ensures every fly is built on a foundation of durable, reliable components.
Beyond our standard catalogue, we offer custom fly tying services for wholesale customers who need something tailored to their shop or market. You’re welcome to provide your own fly patterns, sample flies for us to match, preferred materials, preferred hook brands, specific colour variations, or modifications to an existing pattern. Our team will work closely with you to produce flies that meet your exact requirements while holding to the same craftsmanship and quality standards behind everything we tie.
Our catalogue spans Bass Bugs, Dry Flies, Nymphs, Salmon Flies, Saltwater Flies, Streamers, Terrestrials, and Wet Flies, with a wide and growing range of patterns available across these categories, giving retailers a single source for a broad, well-rounded fly selection.

Customer satisfaction matters to us. Every wholesale order is carefully inspected before shipment to help ensure it meets our quality standards before leaving our workshop.
