Housefly Fishing is an independent fly shop located steps from the banks of the Lakawaxan River in Hawley, Pennsylvania. The multi-brand shop opened in 2021 to fill a gap in the northeastern Pennsylvania fly fishing scene. Within weeks of opening the Housefly crew launched their in-house brand, drawing inspiration from skateboarding, punk rock, tattooing, and the graphic arts. Longstanding relationships cultivated across these scenes inform the brand’s design vocabulary—bringing a unique perspective to the world of fly fishing.
The capsule brings together Filson’s high-quality, durable construction with Housefly’s streetwear attitude. Filson gave Housefly’s Creative Director Tim Miller free reign when choosing the silhouettes, which are a mix of currently available styles and pieces for the archive. Standouts include: a tie-dye ‘camo’ print poncho ($285.00) made with the same waterproof fabric as the Swiftwater Rain Jacket; a variation of Filson’s classic warm-weather shirt ($185.00) with a toile de joy style print inspired the Lakawaxan River ecosystem; and quick-dry pants ($185.00) modeled on archival trail pants and finished with drawcord adjusted hems and a built-in webbing belt.
