Welcome to the revolution in fly fishing vests; Fishpond. Visualize this: fly fishing vests with outer pockets that are fly boxes and fly/leader work stations. That is the type of functionality and concepts that drive Fishpond fly fishing vests. Now, not every pocket is a fly box, in fact there are more storage pockets than you can probably fill, but on each of the Fishpond fly fishing vests you will find a least one drop down “bench” that has replacement foam. What a drying rack or even better, what if you happen to know the river and the hatches like the back of your hand, why not load up your favorite match the hatch flies and hit the water, no boxes to worry with! Besides we know you are looking for something to do the night for before your fishing trip!
The Fishpond fly fishing vests are designed with comfort and functionality in mind. As designers of chest and tackle packs, John Le Coq and David Thompson know a thing or two about comfort, and their history of comfortable chest packs is designed into each and every Fishpond vest.
Each fly fishing vest has functionality second to none. Take the Firefly, which has been designed by women fly fishers for women fly fishers. Or the Open Range Tech Pack that has 2 zip-down fly benches with replaceable foam and easy adjustable shoulder straps for a truly custom fit. When you put on a fly fishing vest, you want easy access, but with enough storage space for all the right flies AND a comfortable fit. Fishpond fly fishing vests give it all to you.
John Le Coq loves to fly fish and likes to be comfortable while doing so. As a result, he and others at Fishpond field test every item they design before they even think about dropping it on the market. This no more evident than with the large easy entry, lower back pouches, the molded zip-down fly benches, and the easy adjustable shoulder straps that are found on these cutting edge vests.
Comfort can be found in the breathable (but near-barbed-wire-proof ) fabrics as well as the mesh backs. The integral and adjustable waist straps keeps these vests where they belong. There are plenty of gear attachments tabs, cord keeps and D-rings. If you are going to pull on a fly fishing vest, pull on one of these comfortable and functional fly fishing vests from 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.

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.
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.
