ABOUT US

◆ Our Story ◆

Born from the
Backwater

Pool 8 Backwater Co. was born in the shallow channels and hidden sloughs of the Upper Mississippi — where the river spreads wide, the herons stand still, and time moves at the current's pace.

We craft apparel for hunters, anglers, and wanderers who feel more at home on a flat-bottom boat than in a shopping mall. Rooted in Stoddard, Wisconsin — where the bluffs meet the backwater and every weekend is a reason to get lost on purpose.

"Driftless living. River-born. Made for those who get it."
