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 day of fishing they had developed several products that they thought would make not only make 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 in 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.

Fishpond on Their Mission

“Many go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after”
Henry David Thoreau

“Thoreau's words have a special meaning to all of us at fishpond. From our perspective, fly-fishing is more than just a sport. It is an opportunity for people to enjoy the wonder and beauty of the outdoor experience. Our company exists to help them get the most out of that experience.

Our mission is to identify and bring to market innovative storage products and accessories that make fly-fishing easier and more enjoyable. We're not interested in developing "me-too" products. We intend to stand out by being first-to-market with product concepts that represent breakthroughs in the fly-fishing storage products and accessories categories.

To stay on the leading edge of new product design, we started with a few simple ideas. Bringing these ideas from concept to reality was a challenge, but we believe our initial products offer just the right blend of state-of-the-art design, unmatched functionality and great value.

In all that we do, we want to be recognized as a role model for the way we approach our business, treat our associates and work with our dealer-partners. We want everyone we work with to think we're more than just a great company. We want them to think we're great people, too.”

"Driven by design"
"Fishpond was created with the philosophy that innovation and design be the
foundation for every product in our collection. We want to set the standard by
which our competition is measured.

We understand great design is about more than dynamic color combinations and
versatile fabrics. Our designs blend style with functionality—yielding products
known for their creativity, durability and value.

Each fishpond design is inspired by our own angling experiences and travel
adventures—resulting in products that perform flawlessly under the most
demanding conditions.

We thrive on creating new products that exceed customer expectations. We’re
committed to being on the cutting-edge. We’re driven by design.

Embracing new opportunities
There’s a spirit at fishpond to be the best—to revolutionize thinking and design in
every product category in which we compete. We’re always open to challenging
and exciting opportunities to extend the fishpond brand. Embracing new
opportunities not only allows us to grow, we believe it drives us to be better.

We’re constantly pushing ourselves to create new designs, new styles, and
new ways of improving the performance of our products. It is demanding and
time consuming, but it really defines who and what fishpond is as a company.

This year, our collection of products is expanding beyond fly fishing, but
not beyond the boundaries of our experiences and passion. We bring the same
innovation and commitment to each new product—building on our legacy of
superior design, quality and value. That’s why we’re in business—that’s fishpond.

Follow your passion
For many people their passion for conservation derives from a hobby or pastime.
They have a direct connection—they can see a tangible benefit—to their support
of an organization or cause. They believe strongly in it.

At fishpond we believe in the power of purpose. We encourage you to engage in
a cause that directly impacts your heart. In conservation, as in every other facet
of life, none of us can do everything, but each of us can do something.

There are many fantastic organizations involved in important conservation
work around the world. From Trout Unlimited to the American Hiking Society,
conservation of the Artic National Wildlife Refuge to new ideas like
Carbon Neutral travel there’s a way for each of us to make a difference. So get
involved—make your statement—follow your passion.

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 fishpond is creating its own ripples in 2008.
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.

Fishpond
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.

 

Fishpond is all about design and function. We are the first to bring a functional tippet dispenser to the market-one that stores, straightens, cuts and dispenses tippet material directly from most commercially manufactured freshwater tippet spools. Look for our saltwater version in the coming months. Tired of plastic and aluminum fly boxes? We've also created an entirely new product category with our molded nylon and soft-sided fly cases. With ease-of-use in mind, brightly colored jacquard webbing on the spine serves as a hand strap to securely hold the case while on the water. This gives our cases their signature style and unparalleled function. To keep us on the cutting edge, we're redefining the accessory segment with revolutionary products like our patented, ergonomically designed Titanium Clippers with optional integrated retractor that make competitive tools based on the traditional nail clipper obsolete.

 

Our research has told us that fly-fishing enthusiasts want to lighten their load. In response to this trend, fishpond has created two new chest/fanny packs that can complement or replace the traditional fishing vest. Each product has our signature zip-down "fly bench" with a replaceable foam fly page that serves as a convenient fly changing station and work area. At fishpond, we're committed to staying on the leading edge of fly-fishing product design, and we're already hard at work on the next generation of new products to enhance our position as an emerging leader with our dealer-partners and customers. Fishpond is connected to the past and it's timeless traditions, but its focus is on making designs for the fly-fishing enthusiast that will endure the future. We're committed to our dealer-partners and consumers at every level, and want to earn your trust and support by offering quality service, delivery and creativity."
