As a Colorado native from generations of outdoorsmen, camping and fishing have been essential to my life. Fishing great rivers and streams all over the region has been a lifelong adventure.

My dedication to the sport of fly fishing, combined with years of design experience and a need for better tools, paved the way for Artisan Angler. A turning point came as I stood frustrated, wading in the North Platte River, knowing there had to be better and faster ways to rig-up. I was compelled to create products that would make the process more efficient.

At Artisan Angler, our passion is developing innovative fly fishing tools that help speed up the rigging process for every level of angler. We analyzed and agonized over the time-consuming flaws of rigging. The results: Smarter design solutions put to the test and ready to make you a more effective, more efficient angler. Anglers all over the world are using our game-changing approach to rigging and spending more time fishing.
