Fly fishing wasn’t always as rock ‘n roll as it is now. There was a time when it was an easier, quieter sport, a place for positive reflection, a peaceful pursuit of tranquility. They both have their place in our little world of fun–you can still bang out eight inch streamers for browns with a stiff rod and an aggressively tapered line, all while listening to Anthrax. But sometimes it’s just as fun to slow down, relax, and maybe sip some scotch while waiting for your rod to load and swinging an easy riffle.
Anglers all over have been asking us to bring back those slower, smoother tokens of the past, the Echo Fiberglass Spey rods. Tim took his time with the designs on the new versions, appropriately, and gave us a rod that effectively couples the benefits of glass with modern casting techniques and lines. And while the rods are a little more Tom Waits than Louis Armstrong now, they are 100% fun.
Tim used S2 glass and increased blank diameters with thinner walls to improve rod recovery and lower the blank weight. This provides increased performance without sacrificing the “fun” of glass, and allows anglers to more effectively fish short spey heads. By using rod lengths on the shorter end of the two-hand rod spectrum, the new Echo Fiberglass Spey rods feel crisper and generate more line speed without sacrificing the “why is my handle flexing?” feel of traditional glass spey rods. Additionally, S2 glass fibers have increased elongation compared to graphite, which allows the angler to maintain maximum pressure on fish without worrying about pulling the hooks or snapping tippet.
When Canada Post lost my package, the guys at Drift Outfitters honored the sale and sent me a new order the next day. It's nice to deal with a company that has great customer service.
Drift is my go to spot for all my fly fishing needs. Super friendly and helpful staff that always steer you in the right direction. Super fast shipping and great prices too.
Best fly shop around! Great group of people and they have the best selection of gear! All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and they do tons of awesome stuff for the community. This shop is a great resource for all anglers in southern Ontario. 10/10 will shop again
Always get good service from the guys at the shop especially Chris…he is a pro….inventory is the best I have seen I. Any speciality fly shop which is rare in a single fly shop…support Canadian business /highly recommend
Dope fly shop, crazy selection of flies including big topwater bass flies of all sorts, and big pike flies which are pretty hard to find in person. Chill staff, loads of inventory. I make a point to stop here every time I'm in Toronto!
This is the best fly fishing store I have frequented in my 30 year fly fishing experience. The owner Rob, store manager Chris and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable about products and local fly fishing locations. They will guide you towards best products for your needs, and will not try to upsell if a lower priced option is better for you...
If you are in the GTA Drift is the only fly shop you need. They have an insane amount of quality tying products, packs, waders, boots, rods and reels. They also have the best staff w/ a staggering knowledge base.
