A WORD FROM THE BOSS
I’m an outdoorsman at heart, and fishing is in my blood. When I started Taylor Fly Fishing back in 2012, my goal was simple: to create affordable, high-quality gear in an industry where the choice was often between overpriced equipment or low-quality junk. I knew we could do better. At Taylor, our mission has always been to put the best gear into the hands of anglers without the bloated costs. When you purchase a Taylor product, you’re buying from a company that values you, the angler, over the bottom line. We make products for anglers like you—because we are anglers too.
