With the opening of first category fishing, and trout fishing in particular, what better way to prepare for the season than with the right equipment. Fishing in aquatic environments, and sometimes even in tricky weather conditions, anglers will only find pleasure and remain focused on their passion if they are well protected from the vagaries of the weather. So what could be better than a little focus on Field and Fish, a French brand specializing in technical clothing and equipment for fishing, particularly trout fishing, with a positioning that is both technical and ethical.

Business and products

Field and Fish designs waders, jackets, technical clothing, luggage and accessories for sport fishing, with a strong fly-fishing culture, but adapted more broadly to nature-based leisure activities. Its aim is to offer "absolute comfort for the angler" with technical products at affordable prices, thanks to the brand's strategy of selling directly to anglers, without going through intermediaries.

The range includes a good number of references and is regularly enriched, with considerable attention to detail, ergonomics and finish.

The brand sells mainly online via its e-commerce site (www.fieldandfish.com), but is also present at fishing shows and through a showroom based in Dingy-saint-clair, Haute-Savoie, accessible by appointment. Based on the banks of the Fier, the department's legendary river, and just a few minutes from Lake Annecy, the site even lets you try out your equipment on site!

Values and commitments

The company offers excellent value for money, using high-quality technical materials for long-lasting products.

The brand makes it a point of honor to minimize its environmental impact as much as possible. It favors the use of recycled and Bluesign-labeled fabrics, guaranteeing environmentally-friendly specifications during the fabric manufacturing process. It is also a member of the "1% for the planet" scheme, with 1% of sales donated to environmental associations that protect rivers.

The brand's core values are sharing, ethics and responsiveness, with a strong focus on listening to anglers' feedback in order to develop new products. Proximity to the brand's customers is also a commitment on the part of Antoine, who took over the reins of the brand at the very beginning of 2025.

Field and Fish also emphasizes the durability and therefore repairability of its products, particularly its waders. It works in partnership with two workshops in France to offer maintenance and repair services for its garments, and in particular its waders.
