Client Reviews

"I had never held a fly rod before our session and honestly was nervous I'd be terrible at it. Ed was so patient and explained everything step by step. By the end of the day I had caught my first trout and felt confident I could go back out on my own. Can't recommend Drifters enough for total beginners!"

"The private water access alone is worth every penny. We were on stretches of river I didn't even know existed, and the fish were incredible. Ed put us on fish all day long and kept the instruction going throughout. My buddy and I both had our best days of fishing ever. Already booked our next trip."

"I'd been fly fishing for a couple of years but couldn't figure out why my casting felt off. Ed diagnosed the problem in about two minutes — I had been breaking my wrist too much on the backcast. Two hours later I was casting loops I didn't know I was capable of. The FFI certification is real — this guy knows his stuff."

"Took our two kids (ages 10 and 13) on a guided trip and it was honestly one of our best family days ever. Ed was amazing with them — tons of patience, kept it fun, and both kids caught fish. My 10-year-old is now obsessed with fly fishing and wants to go back every weekend. Mission accomplished!"

"I've always wanted to try fly fishing but felt intimidated by how technical it seemed. Ed completely changed that perception. He breaks everything down in a way that actually makes sense, and the on-water format means you're applying things immediately. Came out feeling like I actually know how to fly fish now. Great experience."

"My husband and I did a full-day trip for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Neither of us had ever fly fished before. Ed was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel totally at ease. We caught fish, learned so much, ate lunch by the river, and left feeling like we'd discovered a new hobby we'll do forever. 10/10."
