The evolution of a fly angler aligns with the pace at which they fish. Over time, the desire to catch many or large fish shifts toward fishing with intention—on one’s own terms—leading to a slower, more thoughtful approach. Casts become less frequent but more meaningful, filled with a deeper sense of the moment. As pace slows, awareness heightens, and observation takes center stage. Days or weeks are spent waiting for the hatch, and when it finally comes, one cast may be all we get. Inspired by time and place, we learn to slow down and savor the experience, finding there is always more to observe, learn, and feel—including that one perfect fish.
A key characteristic of our proprietary Revolution 8 graphite material is that it naturally likes to bend - unusual in most high-modulus rods. With the CLASSIC R8, we’ve fully leaned into this characteristic and applied R8 Technology to a deep loading Moderate action, resulting in rod blanks that are astoundingly lightweight and soulful - perfect for fishing at calculated, measured tempos.
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.
