Planting Trees Along the River

One Tree Planted Logo

This year, we’re proud to continue our partnership with One Tree Planted. For every wader sold, a tree is planted along rivers and streams across the United States. Trees help keep our rivers cool and fish thriving.

Reintroducing the Fluffapuff™ Insulated Jacket. 

Several years ago the Fluffapuff™ jacket went down for a siesta, that turned into a long hibernation. Now waking from its slumber, the refreshed and updated Fluffapuff™ rises from the ashes like a flaming phoenix to reclaim the throne high above… ok, that’s a little much. Let’s try that again. This popular insulated fishing jacket is back in stock with some choice updates. Read about them on the product page.

A huge thank you! From the owners.

A message from the owners

As the holidays approach, we want you to know how much we truly appreciate your support of DRYFT. Small businesses like ours thrive because of friends and customers like you, and we’re deeply grateful.

Founded and operated by long-time friends Nick and Sam, DRYFT is a labor of love, fueled by passion and dedication. When we go to the river together it’s usually one or the other of us fishing, with the other behind the camera. This year in Alaska we managed to both be fishing and double up with some nice trout. A real treat for us, and we wanted to share this photo with you. 

Wishing you a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and cherished memories.

Warmly,

Nick & Sam
-Co-owners

Wishing you a joyful and restful Thanksgiving

On this day of giving thanks, we want to take a pause to appreciate the moments and connections that enrich our lives. Today, we’re grateful for family, friends, free flowing rivers, and the forests that line their banks.

As you gather with those close to you, may your day be filled with warmth, laughter, and memories that last. We hope the days ahead bring you time to enjoy the outdoors and spend some quality time fishing with friends and family.

Thank you for being a valued part of the DRYFT community.

Wishing you and yours a joyful and restful Thanksgiving.

Nick, Sam, and the entire DRYFT team.

Seeking Steelhead in the Rainforest

The temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest coast are wet. As in, really wet. Most of the time. Occasionally the rain stops, the sun breaks out and we’re treated to a warm(er) day of steelhead fishing.

When these small coastal rivers are running high, crossings can be in short supply so it means a lot of bank scrambling and bush wacking is in order to find the safe spots to cross.

But who doesn’t love a good adventure? Even if it means a long day of slogging through the brush, maybe nearly falling in the river once or twice, and hopefully connecting to a fish or two.

This is our favorite way to test DRYFT waders and gear. We load it up, and go hike and fish 8 or 9 miles of river.
