About Buckeye Fly Factory

Austin Fairchild has hunted and fished since he was a little kid. He got his love of the outdoors from his dad, and he is passing it down the same way to his two sons, Weston and Cooper.

Every Buckeye Fly Factory jig is tied by hand in Waverly, Ohio, one at a time, with real hair and feather and colors picked for Ohio water.

Family is the whole point of this business. Austin is a proud advocate for autism awareness, a cause close to home through his son Weston, and he believes the outdoors belongs to everybody.

Austin is a firm believer in Jesus Christ, and one verse hangs over the tying bench:

“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 4:19
