Leland on Loon
As with so many other manufacturers, Loon was born from a necessity for
better fly fishing equipment. An avid fly fisherman and talented
chemist, Dan Paradis knew he could develop fly and leader amendments
that were environmental friendly to boot.
Dan started tinkering with a basic piece of fly fishing equipment, the
sinker, and developed Loon's Deep Soft Weight, a lead-free, non-toxic
weight in putty form as an alternative to split shot. It was an
immediate hit with anglers from coast to coast. In 1993, he developed
and patented Loon's Biostrike, a reusable, biodegradable strike
indicator putty. Again, fly fishing enthusiasts raved about Loon's
product. Dan and his legacy at Loon Outdoors continue to introduce
revolutionary, award winning fly fishing products to the industry,
pushing the market towards more environmentally friendly fly fishing
products.
Loon on their Hydrostop
Permanent fly floatant for treating new flies. Large jar treats hundreds of flies,
dozens at a time, giving you more time on the water. Outstanding for treating
yarn-type indicators, for pre-treating dubbings and even for waterproofing tent
seams and similar gear. To use, simply soak your fly or indicator for 5 minutes
and let dry overnight.
Loon on Loon
While casting a caddis on the Boise River in 1991, Loop founder Dan
Paradis knew he could combine his knowledge of chemistry with his love
of the outdoors and passion for fly fishing. He left his successful
career as the technical director of Dexter Aerospace to begin a new
journey. Loon Outdoors is that journey and Loon's concept is simple; to
create environmentally-friendly fly fishing products that perform at an
exceptional level.
Dan will be missed; but the best way Loop knows how to honor him is to
continue the journey. To continue living and pursuing a life filled with
our passions. To continue providing environmentally conscious fly
fishing products that better enable fishermen to find success in all
their fly fishing endeavors. Thank you, Dan. Thank you for living a
courageous life, and showing us the joy of pursuing our passions. May
you be honored by Loon Outdoors and all the lessons we learned from your
life.
