Grundéns, the manufacturer of fishing apparel and footwear, is dedicated to enabling anglers and commercial fishermen around the world to brave the harshest weather in pursuit of the perfect catch, fueling their passion for the sport.
Grundéns believes that “fishing feeds all of us physically and emotionally,” and at its core, “fishing is about respect for nature, the elements, the greater journey, the challenges, the experiences we bring back, and the connection with it all.”
In this short film, produced by Grundens, (click on the link here or on the image below) the spotlight is on Grunden retailer Waters West Fly Fishing Outfitters, located in the Pacific Northwest and one of the brand’s premier fly shops and guide service operations.
Located in Port Angeles, WA, “the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park,” owner Ed Fuhrken and his experienced staff of tackle experts and full-time fishing guides outfit their clients with the gear they need for a day on the water and with year-round guide service options.
Renowned for offering one of the largest selections of fly-tying materials in the region, Waters West first opened its doors in 1998 and has since become an industry staple in providing the best equipment, custom flies, wading gear, and extensive local knowledge of the OP. The retailer also specializes in both spey and single-hand casting for steelhead in the winter/spring and fly fishing for trout and salmon in the summer/fall.
