A workshop where every fly is earned.
Wema is a swahili word for good. We founded this company to reward dedicated, energetic, and hardworking fishing flies tyers in Kenya. Their unmatched skill and creativity deserve a global platform. Your purchase gives a better future and motivation to keep doing good.
From a single vise to a global supplier.
What began as a small operation tying flies for friends and local outfitters has grown into a dedicated workshop producing patterns for retailers and distributors on five continents.
Every step of our growth has been intentional. We add capacity only when we can hold the line on quality. We add patterns only after rigorous testing in real water.
Wema means "good" in Kiswahili. It's the standard we hold ourselves to and the standard our partners count on us to deliver.
Manufacture and export the finest handcrafted fly fishing flies, with consistency our buyers can build a business on.
Establish Kenya as a recognised global hub for premium fly fishing flies, supplying the world's outfitters and anglers.
Craftsmanship, accountability, transparency, sustainable sourcing and long-term partnerships over transactions.
Trained tiers. Sharp eyes.
Our tying floor pairs experienced lead tiers with a growing apprenticeship program. Every new tier moves through a 12-week training cycle before patterns leave under their name. Quality control sits in-line, not at the end.
