Hi, my name is Stuart Hayden and I am a chemist and a lifelong fly fisherman, mainly for trout. I wanted to develop premium fly fishing accessories that my fellow fly fishers can enjoy and use as the most efficient in terms of utility and highest quality products made.
At my shop in Vermont, I spent over 6 years of research and development to create products that many consider are the best on the market today.
The Silver Trout logo is named Eeko and is an abstract form of the actual silver trout that perished in the 1930’s. I pay homage to the extinct species with the name of the company!
How The Silver Trout LLC originated:
About 8 years ago I was trying to find a good dry fly floatant that would maintain a gel consistency and float flies higher and longer at elevated outside temperatures. Not one floatant on the market worked to my satisfaction! I vowed someday to produce a supreme floatant that works without silicone oils and is safe for the environment.
· 2015 started literature searching and surmising formulations to generate a floatant without silicone oils.
· 2016 we started field testing initial formulations with great success. Samples sent to top fly fishermen: Glenn Brackett, Mark Canfield, Dennis Franke, Rick Robbins to name a few, they tested my UBF floatants to the limit.
· 2017 Refined formulation of UBF floatants to produce gels / pastes that maintain a gel/paste texture at varied temperature conditions.
· 2018 launched UBF floatant systems for sale at The Silver Trout LLC

10-9-20 USI Launched!
At the Fly Fishing Show I was asked to make a deicing agent for guides for fly fishing in the winter! I am currently working on a paste that will inhibit icing on the guides. Also I am developing a new wetting agent that will sink wet flies into the water column faster and is 100% biodegradable and completely safe for the fish and the environment.
UTFW Ultra Tight Ferrule Wax (Launched)!
8-5-20
On occasion I have come across bamboo fly rods with ultra tight nickel silver ferrules that would get stuck together after fishing. I have created a low viscosity wax formula with
micro crystalline waxes and a high quality lubricating oil. Rubbing the UTF wax with fingers on the male ferrules creates a micro wax layer that ensures the ferrules will come apart and not get stuck together! Also the wax content keeps rod blanks straight without rotation! Available today in a 1/2 ounce container.
If my customers are interested in my research efforts and would like to give feedback please contact me by email! Any Information or thoughts are welcome.
