A note from Joe Rotter @redsflyshop:

For some, sitting in a drift boat or raft might be harder in some situations compared to standing. Check out what Joe has to say about sitting and targeting this particular fish in the brush.

“The Yakima is one of the most demanding rivers in the west due to the high swift flows under the brush. These trout practically share habitat with squirrels! Sometimes when other anglers on the water see one of my guests sitting down, the assumption is that my guests are lazy or have simply given up. Quite the opposite. What I’ve found over the years is that sitting down and getting low allows you to make these impossible casts deep into the canopy.”

Nelson Oxley
I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
