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.

Seekr Wading Pants and Korkers Stealth Sneakers – a match made in fish heaven

Like many fine pairings, wine and cheese, bourbon and bbq, coffee and dessert, the new Korkers Stealth Sneaker wading shoes pair perfectly with our classic SEEKR Wading Pants.

Lightweight, comfortable and maneuverable, both the sneakers and the wading pants are perfect for light and fast trips, fishing from boats, and scrambling over rough terrain.

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.

New Korkers Stealth Sneaker – A lightweight shoe for quick and fishy trips

The all new Stealth Sneaker from Korkers is a lightweight shoe, built like a boot, that is made for lightweight fishing missions. Not only are these sneakers cool to look at, but they are built to perform for comfort and fishing agility all day long. We only have limited quantities currently, but when they sell out we should have more available around the end of April.

Winter escape to bonefish paradise

Recently some of us had the sublime opportunity to escape the PNW winter, to a beauty of a place called Belize, for a few days. Seven days chasing bonefish, permit, baby tarpon and more was everything it was imagined to be and more. Going from 38 degrees and raining to sunny skies, warm temps, and the very real threat of sunburn is about all you can ask for on a winter escape.

The time was enjoyed, and the Sun Wizard UPF hoodies performed ideally in these conditions, keeping the sun off our arms, heads and backs while our BKCNTRY backpacks and hip packs carried our gear in safety.
