Born from New England waters, built for a lifetime of freshwater fishing memories
Trapper started with a simple love for fishing. Since I was a kid, I've been hooked on the outdoors—long mornings on New England's pristine freshwater lakes, learning patience, and chasing that next big catch.
What began as a passion for the crystal-clear waters of Vermont's Lake Champlain and the hidden gems tucked away in New Hampshire's White Mountains turned into something much bigger: building a place where freshwater fishing isn't just a hobby, but a lifestyle.
At Trapper, we bring together gear, knowledge, and community for people who share the same love for New England freshwater fishing that's been part of my life since day one. From bass boats on Connecticut's lakes to fly fishing the streams of Maine, this brand was built for anglers who see fishing as more than just a weekend activity—it's who we are.
Every product we put out, every idea we create, comes from that same spirit I had as a kid waiting for my first bite on a quiet New England morning. Whether you're new to freshwater fishing or you've been casting lines in these waters for decades, Trapper is here to fuel that passion, make the experience better, and connect you with the lakes and streams that shaped us.
This isn't just about fishing—it's about carrying forward a lifetime of memories from New England's freshwater paradise and creating new ones with every trip to your favorite hidden spot.
Born and raised on the freshwater lakes and streams of New England, we understand the unique challenges and rewards of fishing these pristine waters.
Specializing in gear and techniques specifically designed for freshwater fishing - from bass and trout to pike and walleye.
Every product reflects decades of experience and the same excitement we felt as kids waiting for that first bite.
Building connections between anglers who share our love for New England's freshwater fishing culture and traditions.
Committed to preserving the pristine freshwater ecosystems that make New England fishing so special for future generations.
From the Adirondacks to the Berkshires, we know the waters, the seasons, and what it takes to succeed in New England.
New England's freshwater fishing isn't just about the catch—it's about the experience. The mist rising off a Vermont lake at dawn, the sound of a loon calling across the water, the satisfaction of landing a brook trout in a mountain stream that's been flowing for centuries.
Our gear is tested in these real conditions: the cold spring mornings when the ice is just breaking up, the hot summer days when the bass are deep, and the crisp fall afternoons when the colors are changing and the fish are feeding before winter.
