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.”

Fishpond on 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."
