Because of your support we’ve grown!

In 2016, we launched our bootstrapped website to a small group of fly anglers. The business was slow for the first few years of operation as we barely made enough to keep the lights on.

Since then, we’ve added 100's of new fly patterns, published over 100 articles, hired a team of talented Americans, and donated over 18,000 flies to non-profits. It’s true, 2% of all sales is committed to Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and their participants.

The Fly Crate was built from the closet of my college dorm room and is now a thriving community of fly anglers. From everyone here at The Fly Crate, thank you for helping us become one of the greatest places to learn and shop fly fishing.
