Our Story

Siggs wasn't founded in a boardroom. It started in the back of a pickup truck at the Hecla Junction put-in.

Independent & Local

We realized that most gear was over-engineered and overpriced, and most guide services felt like factories. We wanted to bring it back to the basics: respect for the fish, knowledge of the river, and gear that just works.

Based in Salida, Colorado, we are surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks and the Gold Medal waters of the Arkansas River. This is our testing ground.
