Beginner System Introduction

Hello! This is Big Bern from Drifthook Fly Fishing.

Welcome to Drifthook Fly Fishing! I applaud your awesome decision to take your fly fishing to the next level. I know you’re excited and ready to jump in and start landing those MONSTER trout, but before we do that, I want to quickly go over what is different with the Drifthook program versus any other fishing technique on the market today.

Not only do we literally teach you how to fly fish… but we also give you techniques that will help you bring in more trout—and much larger ones—than you ever have before.

What I mean by that is, not only will you get a steady foundation and a blueprint for consistently catching trout when you’re on the water, but you will also get the knowledge to catch MONSTER trout that will build memories for a lifetime.

Everything that you are about to learn is based on real-world fishing experience. These are not simply “theories” or “ideas,” but techniques that have been carefully tested and consistently proven in the trenches of numerous waters that provide amazing results.

Drifthook Fly Fishing is truly unique because it is not only built upon proven professional guide techniques, but purposefully designed to help new and novice fly fishermen to understand those principles. It harnesses the power of the best professional techniques but breaks them down into easily digestible, actionable pieces to increase productivity on the river.

Before you dive into the lessons, let me show you how the Drifthook Members Portal is designed, so you can easily navigate the site and devour all of the intense knowledge to help you have a more enjoyable time on the water.

If this is the first time you've ever been fly fishing, I recommend you start with the beginner session. In these chapters we will review basic topics such as gear, river safety, your first cast, and how to set up your first fly rig, so you can be successful on the water starting on day one.

If you're not new to fly fishing and you're just excited to get on the water and start using your new flies, head straight to the intermediate section of the site. There, we will dive right into how to use the Drifthook Fly Fishing System to make your next trip one to remember.

In the advanced section of our Members Portal, we’ll dive even deeper into the techniques of the Drifthook Fly Fishing System, with lessons guiding you through things like how to learn to read the water, scout out large trout, and match the hatch—all advanced techniques that'll help you land that MONSTER trout of a lifetime.
