Our Story
Three decades of passion, innovation, and commitment to the art of fly fishing.
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 1993 in the heart of Pennsylvania's trout country, A. Winston Outfitters began as a small workshop with a big vision: to create the finest fly fishing gear that would help anglers fish better and enjoy their time on the water.
What started as a passion project has grown into a trusted name in fly fishing, known for quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the angling tradition. Our gear has been tested on rivers and streams around the world, from the hallowed waters of the Catskills to the remote streams of Patagonia.
Today, we continue to craft premium gear with the same attention to detail and dedication to quality that inspired our founder. Every product we make is designed to enhance your fishing experience and help you connect more deeply with the waters you love.
Passion Knows No Bounds
Fly fishing is more than a sport—it's a way of life that connects us to nature, challenges our skills, and brings us together as a community. From beginners to seasoned veterans, every angler has a story to tell.
We believe that the best gear should enhance this connection, not hinder it. That's why every product we create is designed with the angler in mind, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
Whether you're casting your first line or chasing trophy trout, we're here to support your journey on the water with gear that performs when it matters most.
