From all of us at Rising, thank you for being part of this community. Your support has meant more than we can say. You have shown up for us through slow seasons, busy seasons, supply challenges, shop moves, and everything in between. You have trusted the gear we build, shared your stories with us, and reminded us why we do this work in the first place. We do not take any of that lightly.

We are grateful for every order, every message, every river photo, and every conversation on the phone or at the shop. You allow us to keep building gear with intention, right here at home, and to stay true to the values that started this company. That is not something most small companies get to say.

So as the year winds down, we simply want to say thank you. Thank you for choosing Rising. Thank you for caring about fish, water, and the slow moments that make a day meaningful. We hope your holidays give you time with the people who matter most and at least one good moment outside, where the world gets quiet and the day feels full again.

Here is to time well spent.
