About Us

---

Forged Fly Fishing was Founded in 2010 in Victoria, British Columbia, but it existed far before that.

In the early  years I always talked with my Father about the dream of having a career  centered on fly fishing. A dream though it was then,  I started with  the idea of fly reels and what could be done to make them affordable and  elegant, while still giving them the substance and durability needed by West Coast anglers. This lead to multiple designs of reels and fly  boxes, from what you have in your pack to what hangs off them. In the  end ...  FORGED® was born.

The name came from the  image of a Blacksmith, hunched over his anvil, hammer in hand as he hones his craft. This, along with the process in which the reels are  made: Cold Forging. We also use Computer Numerical Controlled "CNC"  machining for all our reels, controlled by Computer Aided Design "CAD"  system to ensure the high quality and precision FORGED® has come to be  known for.

From its conception to the present, the  support received from anglers, the public and retailers has been  overwhelming once they see what we have been able to design for them.  West Coast fly fishing and salmon fishing demands a special kind of  gear, and that's what is at the center of our motivation in design.

West Coast idea, Worldwide usability.
