As a firefighter and a fly fisherman, I have learned that sometimes brute force is necessary, and sometimes finesse. Not everything needs a hammer to fix it. Thus enters the chair.

These days I find myself seeking out the worst weather I can. Not as some kind of cold, masochistic exercise, but because so many of my favorite fishing experiences have happened on the most miserable of days.

Check out our interview on the Wet Fly Swing podcast. Hear more about how grunge music, the Air Force, growing up in Alaska, raising daughters, and adventuring on our local Fort Collins’ waters has influenced our company and the gear we make.

Through the COVID-19 outbreak, stay-at-home orders meant working around family. In between runs of leatherwork and assembling bags, I was grabbing snacks for kids while they completed online school. Work-life integration was the name of the game. Here's a glimpse into that time.

Our creel strap makes it easy for you to access your fly fishing gear when you need it, and then keep it out of your way when you don't. Made of English bridle leather and brass components, the creel-style strap comes standard with all of our bags. Watch to learn more about why we love our strap, as well as how to connect it and use it properly.
