Leland on Fishpond...

How many times have you been on the water and said "I wish this tackle pack had a ..." Well John Le Coq and David Thompson at Fishpond are just like you except they took action upon this idea and started designing innovative products that really are fly fishing friendly. After a long day of fishing (and brainstorming) they had developed several products that they thought would not only make their lives easier, but every other anglers day on the water just a little more enjoyable. They started small by designing a nipper here, a thermometer there and before they knew what was happening they were re-working tackle packs and luggage. In the short few years that Fishpond has been designing fly fishing products they have quickly established a solid reputation as a company focused on doing things right. Each tool no matter how small, each bag no matter how big, is designed with you, the angler in mind. The guys at Fishpond have realized that there is more than one kind of angler and as result there are tools, chest packs, and luggage for the angler making day trips to the mountains to fish the tiniest trout streams for the tiniest trout to the angler making halfway round the world trips to fish tropical blue water for the largest billfish. We trust Fishpond so much that each new bag or tool they introduce instantly becomes part of our line-up.

"Two friends and a passion for fishing. It all began near the banks of a large beaver pond high up in the Colorado Rockies on a crisp fall outing. While the fishing was productive, something even more exciting happened on the water that day.

Between casts, our conversation turned to fly fishing accessories and how most of our gear was adapted from products not designed for fishing. As we talked, new ideas and designs began to flow. Before the sun began to drop behind the peaks that October evening, the idea for fishpond was born.

Fishpond is the fly fishing industry's newest and most innovative accessory products company. We're small, but our products are already making more than a few ripples. By rethinking product design from the ground-up, we've created an impressive line-up of fly fishing storage products and accessories that look great, and outperform anything else available on the market.

We started with a few simple ideas: design and create a tippet dispenser, develop an innovative cutting tool or clipper, and reshape the fly storage category with the creation of a series of soft sided cases and chest packs. Our simple ideas turned into very complex design obstacles and challenged some of the best industrial designers in the country, yet we've succeeded with our vision and created a line of revolutionary accessory products that will stand the test of time."
