PEAK Fishing shipped our first rotary vise in 2001. Former PEAK owner Al Schultz felt it would be feasible to provide a premium quality, well-engineered, rotary fly-tying vise manufactured from quality materials at a much lower price than what was available.

Drawing on input from a very talented pool of local Colorado fly tiers, and their own engineering, fabrication, and manufacturing expertise, PEAK turned out their durable, functional, and affordable PEAK Rotary Fly-Tying Vise. Each detail of all of our vises are thoroughly thought out and designed to make your fly-tying enjoyable and productive. Adjustments are simple and easily accomplished.  Materials are chosen for strength, durability, and smooth operation. All of this is accomplished at a price well below the competition and backed by PEAK’s limited lifetime warranty. Since that first vise, PEAK has introduced a line up of vises, vise packages, tying kits, tying tools, accessories, and bamboo rod making equipment. All developed with PEAK Fishing’s guiding principles of premium quality products engineered for functionality and durability, offered at affordable prices.

In February 2026, Chris Welch became the owner of PEAK Fishing. With an extensive background in manufacturing and entrepreneurship paired with a love for fly fishing, he brings the same hands on, detail driven approach that has defined PEAK from the start. Chris is committed to the same principles that built this company’s reputation: outstanding customer service and premium quality product, built to last and priced fairly. As PEAK Fishing moves into its next chapter, Chris looks forward to growing the brand while staying true to what each customer has come to expect from PEAK: vises and tools engineered right, backed by real support, and built for a lifetime at the vise.
