Our Story
MADE IN THE MOUNTAINS. TESTED IN THE WATERS.
Tried & Trout was created in a small storage-shed-turned-woodshop out of Edgewater, CO. Throughout my time on the rivers, streams, and lakes of Colorado, I had a glaring desire to create a high-quality product that embodies wood craft, technique, and passion that I also bring to the water.
About Us
At Tried & Trout, we honor Colorado's rich fly fishing heritage by meticulously handcrafting small-batch fish nets and supplies. Each net is carefully fashioned from hand-selected wood and is built to endure the challenges of Colorado's waterways.
Our unique batches, named after local rivers and streams, capture the vibrant colors and enduring spirit of their name. We not only celebrate the art of fly fishing but also emphasize the importance of fine craftsmanship.
Tried & Trout is more than just exceptional handmade fish nets; we're dedicated to inspiring and supporting the intergenerational love of fishing for every family member.
I extend a personal invitation to join us on this journey. Our goal is to forge a brand and product line crafted in Colorado and trusted by anglers. As we navigate forward, we acknowledge that we're not all-knowing; we'll make mistakes, explore new ideas, and learn throughout our creative process.
Let's make every catch count with Tried & Trout Supply Co. I look forward to meeting you on the water!
IT’S ALL IN THE NAME
Our nets have been tested in the Rocky Mountains, proving their exceptional quality and performance. They are the go-to choice for adventurers and professionals who are looking for a craftsman’s touch.
Meet the Maker
I'm Ben, the creator of Tried & Trout Supply Co., where my love for the outdoors and fishing meets the world of craftsmanship. For over 20 years, I’ve honed my skills both on and off the waters and have aimed to produce something unique — fishing products that are handcrafted, small-batch, and high-quality.
Through trial and error, I successfully merged my passions into practical creations. Each piece reflects my dedication to fishing, crafted with attention to detail. Tried & Trout Supply Co. isn't just a collection of items; it's a representation of my journey, marked by craftsmanship and a love for the outdoors.
Being a maker (and an avid fisherman) isn’t about what you produce. It’s about the finer details and appreciation of the craft.
