When the water gets cold you have to hit the drift-berg! @tyehughes7 #flylords #flyfishing #winter #cold #driftboat #driftberg #fyp #fishing

“Some of us made the decision to go fishing, but upon reaching the river, we were surprised to find a significantly greater amount of ice than we had anticipated. We figured we would just break the ice in a couple of holes to open it up enough to fish. At first, I was just trying to ride the ice down the river for fun, but then realized I had a natural raft to fish from! I gave it a try it and it was super fun and actually worked alright for the one little stretch we were on. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capitalize on the drift, but memories were made!”

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!
