Meet the faces behind Laughingstock Fly Fishing!
Hey y’all! We’re Holli and Alex, the husband-and-wife duo behind Laughingstock Fly Fishing!
Like most good fishing stories, ours started with something going wrong. After breaking a couple of name-brand rods while chasing redfish along the coast, someone suggested we try building our own. One thing led to another, and here we are!
First, Alex is the craftsman behind our rods. With a background in aerospace, composites, and woodworking, he brings a love for precision, creativity, and quality to every build.
Holli is the resident science nerd. A biology teacher and environmental science graduate student, she’s happiest talking about aquatic ecosystems, conservation, and the science behind fishing. She’s built one rod herself but has plenty of opinions about color schemes!
So why do we do this?
Because fishing has never been just about the fish. It’s about the people, the places, and the stories we collect along the way. The good days, the broken rods, the missed fish, and the adventures that don’t quite go as planned.
We believe your fly rod should fit your journey, not the other way around. Our goal is to build reliable, thoughtfully crafted rods that are as unique as the people casting them.
We’re still learning, laughing, and making memories along the way, and we’re glad you’re here to share in them!
Every rod has a story. What’s yours?
