About to Release

Our good friend Straq has been working on products for a new startup company called 12WT. The new brand is focused on apparel and accessories primarily for the flats but not limited to them. One of the categories that is close to production is gloves. The gloves have some very unique features and should be for sale on the web soon, we'll post an update when sales go live.

FreeFly Apparel

Small fly fishing inspired apparel brands are becoming almost as ubiquitous as the digital fly fishing magazine. What sets Free Fly apart is their use of bamboo based fabric, some unique designs, and most notably, their partnership with a non-profit that installs sustainable water treatment systems in countries in desperate need.

Free Fly has partnered with Charleston, SC-based Water Missions International® with the mission of bringing safe drinking water to those who need it most. Water Missions installs clean water treatment systems in locations with little or no access to clean drinking water.  

Free Fly has already provided the resources necessary to give over 250 people clean drinking water for the rest of their lives.
