You're Invited to Help Shape the Future of Fly Fishing
What if the perfect fly fishing product didn't exist in some designer's workshop, but in the collective wisdom of anglers who've spent countless hours reading water, feeling the subtle take of a wary trout, and perfecting their craft?
We're revolutionising how premium fly fishing gear gets made. Instead of guessing what fly anglers want, we're inviting enthusiastic amateurs / experts – that's you - to join our design advisory panel (we're calling it The Pisces Collective) - we've only 100 places available, too many cooks and all that!
Every Pisces product will be limited to only 50 pieces, designed by the collective wisdom of the passionate anglers who will actually use them.
I hope you'll join us - it's going to be fun!
Become A Member Of The Pisces Collective
For the first time, the anglers who actually use the gear get to help design it. Share your insights as a part of our advisory panel on products, features and materials. Every Pisces product is built from the collective wisdom of passionate anglers, not boardroom / spreadsheet assumptions. Your real-life experience matters to us.
Your Membership Pays for Itself
A one-time payment of £25 gives you lifetime membership. Pay once, influence products forever. Your £25 membership also includes a £25 voucher that can be used on any Pisces product. Essentially, membership is free - but the value is priceless. You're not just buying access, you're helping create gear that's designed specifically for anglers like you - with input from anglers like you.
Ultra-Exclusive Limited Production
When we say limited edition, we mean it. Each Pisces product is restricted to exactly 50 pieces worldwide. No second runs. No exceptions. Even among our exclusive membership, only 49 anglers will ever own each design (I will be keeping one for myself). You're not just buying premium gear - you're owning a piece of fly fishing history that will never be made again.
Member Exclusivity & Influence
Every Pisces product is exclusively available to Pisces Collective members only. We will not be selling these products to the general public - period. With only 50 pieces of each item ever made, and exclusive access limited to members only, you're not just buying premium gear. You're joining a group of anglers who have the privilege to own what others can only admire.
*To keep ideas safe and original, we ask members to sign a confidentiality agreement (below) before joining the Pisces Collective.
Here's What Most Companies Won't Tell You - They design gear based on spreadsheet assumptions and focus group guesswork. They mass-produce thousands of identical products and hope something sticks. They ask "What's the biggest market?" instead of "What's the best product?".
We're doing the opposite - The Pisces Collective is our answer to everything that's wrong with how premium fishing gear gets made. It's where your time and experience on the water finally gets the respect it deserves. Where your insight helps to shape legendary gear instead of being ignored.

Here's How It Works:
Already In Production ...
To get the collective going, I've made an executive decision (based on what I would like) and started on the first few products:
Pisces 1 - 9'0" 2-weight Nymphing Rod
This rod represents a bold departure from conventional thinking. Designed specifically for technical nymphing on pressured waters where stealth trumps power, the 9-foot length provides exceptional line control and mending capability (especially on smaller rivers and streams) while the ultralight 2-weight action offers unparalleled sensitivity to detect the subtlest of takes. It's purpose-built for the angler who understands that sometimes, less is infinitely more.
