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 3 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 6 years ago I was trying to find a good dry fly floatant that would maintain a gel consistency  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
