How prices are collected

We follow street prices for fly fishing gear in three separate markets. Europe is in euros, including VAT. The UK is in pounds. The US is in dollars. We never convert one currency into another.

We built Flyfishonomics because fly fishing prices are hard to see through. It is privately funded. Why we built this.

Each product in each market is checked roughly every few days. Popular core items are checked at least every 3 days. Each shop gets only a handful of requests per day.

We read the price the shop publishes on its own product page, including the product data shops publish for search engines. Some shops are checked by hand in a normal browser.

We respect robots.txt. We do not log in. We do not get around blocks or captchas, and we do not use proxies to hide. If a shop blocks us, we stop.

We do not sell the data. A link to a shop is a plain link to that shop’s page. We do not earn a fee when you follow it.
