THE LABRATORY

The Heritage Reel

This reel was the spark that started the entire Palouse Outfitters project. Curtis Lysher is prototyping and milling it now, shaping each line with his jeweler’s precision. Crafted, not just made. Built to last a lifetime. Just need to sell enough rods to afford the manufacturing equipment.

Modern Tools, Classic Soul

From precision-crafted reels to field-ready apparel, our gear blends traditional craftsmanship with modern performance. Every piece—whether worn or cast—is designed to honor the heritage of fly fishing while meeting the demands of the present.

Outfitters Layering System

Regardless of the conditions, terrain, or your level of activity, take it on with confidence.

1. Skin Layer

Close to the body. Built for breathability, sweat control, and all-day comfort.

2. Insulation layer

Retains heat without bulk—keeps you warm when the temps drop and the wind bites.

3. Protection Layer

Shields against the elements. Durable, weatherproof, and ready for rough conditions.

The Legacy Is In The Details

Built To Last, Not Replace

While others chase trends and seasonal drops, we build gear meant to endure—season after season, year after year.

Designed With Purpose, Not Excess

We don’t overbuild or overhype. Every stitch, pocket, and layer has a reason—and it’s usually because someone in the field asked for it.

Legacy in Every Thread

Inspired by generations before us, our designs honor the kind of gear your grandfather trusted—with materials and construction that would still make him proud.

Field-Tested, Family-Approved

Palouse gear is made for real life—whether that’s chasing trout at dawn or hiking with your kid on a wet Saturday. It’s rugged enough for the backcountry, and comfortable enough for everything after.

We Don’t Just Outfit. We Remember.

What sets us apart is what we stand for: gear that carries meaning. Built to be worn into the ground, and passed down with the stories that stick.

Stay On The Line

"Built like your granddad. Tough, quiet, and bad with compliments."
