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.
