About Mayfly Outdoors

Mayfly Outdoors is an outdoor products manufacturer headquartered in Montrose, Colorado. Founded in the Rocky Mountains, Mayfly’s mission is simple: inspire adventure through precision-built equipment.

The company designs, engineers, and manufactures premium fly fishing gear used worldwide. Its family of brands — Abel®, Ross Reels®, Airflo®, and Dyna-King® — have collectively earned more industry Awards in Excellence for innovation, dependability, and performance than any other fly-fishing tackle manufacturers globally.
