Tucked along Bayou La Loutre in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, Hopedale—also known as La Chinche—is an iconic fishing community founded by Isleño fishermen and trappers after the American Civil War. Though the town was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, the fishing remains legendary. Widely regarded as the birthplace of sight-fishing for redfish, anglers travel from across the country to work these narrow stretches of marsh for redfish, along with black drum and sheepshead.
Off the water, Hopedale delivers a cool, casual style that weekend warriors appreciate for everyday wear. On the water, thoughtful details like the hidden Sun Ledge™, recessed nose pads, durable barrel hinges, and polarized, blue-light-blocking lenses deliver serious sun protection and radical clarity. With a large fit that somehow works across most head sizes, Hopedale is ready when it’s time to cast away—and hook up.
