Our Story
Founded by Jason Riley, American Drift Fly Supply was built around a simple idea: fly fishing is better when the gear is made with intention.
We focus on USA-made fly fishing products because we believe craftsmanship still matters, not just in how gear performs on the water, but in how it’s made, who makes it, and why. The brands we work with aren’t chasing volume. They’re small, independent makers building things the right way, often by hand in their workshops, and usually close to the same rivers they fish themselves.
Why USA Made
Choosing American-made gear isn’t about checking a box. It’s about supporting skilled work, keeping knowledge alive, and standing behind products that are built to last. When something is made domestically, there’s accountability in every step — materials, design, testing, and finish.
For us, that means fly rods that feel right in the hand, tools that hold up season after season, and gear you can trust when you’re miles from the truck.
A Collective of Makers
American Drift isn’t a single brand, it’s a collective. We partner with boutique fly fishing companies across the country who share the same values: quality over quantity, function over flash, and a genuine connection to the water.
Some of these makers are well known. Others are just getting started. What they all have in common is a commitment to building great gear in the USA and standing behind it.
