When TROUT Magazine Featured FisheWear Leggings
In Summer 2017, FisheWear leggings appeared in TROUT Magazine—an early press moment for a young Alaska brand creating fishing apparel specifically for women.
The original online magazine link is no longer included here because it is not currently available. Fortunately, the print spread preserves the feature and the moment it represented.
Why You Should Trust This Article
This archive update is based on the original Fishe announcement and the photographed Summer 2017 TROUT Magazine spread shown below. The publication name, issue date, page number, product category, and review credit are visible in the surviving print feature.
A Look Back at the Summer 2017 Feature
The spread appeared on page 28 of TROUT Magazine’s Summer 2017 issue. Alongside the magazine cover, the review introduced readers to three FisheWear legging designs from the brand’s early collection.
The review focused on fishing apparel made with women in mind. It described leggings that could be worn as comfortable layers around the water while bringing color and fish-inspired artwork into a category that had traditionally offered far fewer expressive choices.
The review was credited to Beverly Smith and presented FisheWear leggings as a functional, quick-drying option for anglers who wanted their fishing clothing to feel more personal.

Why This Early Press Moment Still Matters
By 2017, Fishe was still in its early chapters. A feature in a fishing publication helped place the company’s colorful leggings in front of readers who already cared deeply about rivers, fish, conservation, and time outside.
It also validated the idea behind Fishe: women should not have to choose between technical usefulness and clothing that reflects their personality.
The patterns shown in the magazine are a snapshot of where the brand began—bold fish art, practical layers, and a determination to make women more visible within fishing culture.
From Three Pairs of Leggings to a Full Outdoor Brand
The magazine spread captures a small product assortment, but the larger story is one of steady growth. Fishe continued expanding beyond leggings into layers, sun protection, fishing accessories, bags, boots, and other gear designed around women’s outdoor lives.
That growth did not leave the original idea behind. Color, fish-inspired artwork, functional design, and community remain part of the brand’s identity today.
For readers discovering this feature years later, the old magazine page offers something valuable: a clear view of Fishe before the catalog grew, when one memorable pair of leggings could introduce an entirely new way to dress for the water.
A Press Feature Worth Preserving
The feature still belongs in the Fishe story. Although the former external TROUT Magazine link is no longer included, this page now preserves the print spread, its context, and the early recognition it gave the brand.
