Leland on the Fishpond Wildhorse Tech Pack

At 1,343 cubic inches for the backpack section alone, the Wildhorse Tech Pack by Fishpond is no lightweight. This vest/pack combo is designed for those anglers that need to carry rainwear, meals, lots of camera gear, or hike-in with their waders and wading boots on their back. The Wildhorse adjusts like a backpack and wraps close to your body like a hug, keeping any weight secure, balanced, and evenly distributed. No skinny hard edged straps to cut into you when loaded down, this pack reminds me more of a parachute rig than anything. It doesn't jostle around much and is a great way to carry your gear when you have to do any boulder hopping. If you're looking for the most comfortable and functional high capacity pack/vest available, their is no question; it's the Fishpond Wildhorse! Golden Trout Wilderness, here we come!

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 acted on those same thoughts and started designing innovative products that were fly fishing friendly. After a tough fishing day they had developed several products that they thought would make not only their lives easier, but every 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 working tackle packs and luggage. In the short few years that Fishpond has been designing fly fishing products they have quickly established a strong 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 fishing for the tiniest trout to the angler after the largest billfish and for the day-tripper to the world traveler. Each new bag or tool they introduce instantly becomes part of our line-up.

Fishpond - The Ripple Effect

Much of the success of fishpond is directly attributable to the passion and love we have for the outdoors. Each of us, over the years, has approached conservation in a personal way. We practice responsible stewardship and believe that every small act counts.

We call it the "Ripple Effect" - the collective impact of individuals performing in an environmentally conscious manner and leading to lasting change, in thinking, in deeds and in results. Conservation of our natural world is a shared responsibility and we are proud that fishpond is creating its own ripples. We're starting small, looking for ways to reduce our footprint on the environment while continuing to provide the highest levels of quality and value in every fishpond product. From an examination of our source materials to an analysis of our business processes, we're committed to being thorough and more cognizant of our impact as a company.

We're confident these steps will yield positive results for both our company and our environment. With each step forward, each new ripple we create, we move closer to becoming a company that embodies our vision for what the fishpond brand can be.
