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

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.

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.

Snow & Steelhead

A calm day on the river after a snow is a magical thing. Snow in the trees, gentle flakes falling with little to no wind. A perfect day for a float, with dry hands, warm bodies and thoughts of leaping chrome fish. If we’re lucky enough to see a couple fish throughout the day we feel pretty good, and enjoy the time spent on the river with friends.

After all snow and winter steelhead pair together like so many good things. Bacon and eggs, bourbon and orange, peanut butter and jelly. Snow and steelhead.

Happy fishing out there. Stay dry and fish hard!
