Fishy Kid was inspired by two fathers who enjoy the sport of fly fishing and want to do our part in passing along the virtues of the outdoors to our children as well as to families within the online angling community.

Recycled Waders

Your old, worn-out, leaking waders don't go away after you toss them- they last nearly forever in a landfill. The folks at Recycled Waders are doing their part to save the environment by repurposing material from breathable waders that no longer serve the fisherman effectively. The products made by Recycled Waders are water resistant, lightweight and durable. And they're really cool, to boot! I have one of their messenger creels, and it is sweet.
