Fly fishing for tiger musky; I love musky. I hate musky. Ok, I love musky again.

Fly fishing for musky: long hours of repetitive movements followed by brief intense action followed by jubliation or soul crushing disappointment. These fish are hard to catch but so worth the effort.

Fall PNW backcountry walk ‘n wade – Exploring new water

DRYFT S14 fishing waders

DRYFT S14 fishing waders

Fall fishing in the PNW backcountry has a lot to offer.

Getting remote and exploring streams and rivers in the mountain regions can pay off big. Recently Nick and Sam went out on a quick overnight mission to explore some new water.

Upon arriving to the area we’d be exploring we were greeted by multiple signs warning of an aggressive bear ransacking occupied campsites. “Camping not advised’ warned one of the signs. Good thing we forgot the bear spray at home.

Well in the end we survived the night without a bear attack. 🙂

Fishing turned out to be tough, but the scenery sure was easy on the eyes. This was a perfect way to step back and get grounded before the busy fall season picks up. Here are some photos from the trip.

As the water warms up so does the bass fishing. Most parts of the country warm up earlier than in the PNW, but we still get some decent bass fishing weather every year.

New Primo Long full length fishing jackets

DRYFT primo long fishing jacket

Rain, sleet, snow. Say hello to our little friend.

Stepping up from the original Primo wading jacket, the Primo Long Jacket excels at keeping you dry on those hardcore bad weather days. The Primo long fishing jacket is designed for wearing with waders, wading pants, rain pants or just by itself. If Chuck Norris was a fishing jacket, this would be it.

Holding 2017 prices through the end of the year

Prices on several of our products will be raised in 2018 by a modest $10-$30.

We’ve held our prices as low as possible since we began selling gear back in 2012, but with inflated cost of goods and rising overhead we need to modestly increase our prices.

To continue to serve our customers to the highest level with top notch customer service, offering free shipping on all orders (U.S. orders), low cost repairs, high quality goods at fair prices and continued innovation with new products (more on that to come soon) we need to slightly increase prices on the Primo line, S14 waders, and the new Session waders. This modest price increase will allow us to continue to grow our product line and offer even more great products at fair prices to you. We hope you understand.

New prices are as follows:

Primo Zip Front wader – $20 increase
2017 msrp: $379
2018 msrp: $399

Primo wading jacket – $30 increase
2017 msrp: $259
2018 msrp: $289

S14 waders
2017 msrp: $249 – $20 increase
2018 msrp: $269

Session wading pants – $10 increase
2017 msrp: $229
2018 msrp: $239

You’ll see these new prices marked on site now, with the item discounted to 2017 prices. We’re holding this until the beginning of 2018.

Thank you all so much for your support and business. We appreciate every one of our customers, and can’t thank you enough for bringing us to where we are today. We look forward to continuing to offer you high quality feature rich waders and jackets for a great price.
