Sierra Drifters Guide Service is implementing a “Fishing Relief Stimulus” program effective October 31st, 2008

  If you have had it with politics and market watching and wish to get away and debate with a huge brown or watch a BWO mayfly drift into a brightly colored rainbows mouth we have several guided fishing programs to campaign about.  For a limited time we have rolled back our guide rates to 2005 prices!  When is the last time you saw a guide service lower prices?  Gas prices are coming down and the fishing is picking up. 

RATES EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 31, 2008

We are a small family run guide group of hand picked individuals that focus on teaching  innovative methods of fly fishing. We get a few dollars more because we strongly believe we are the best.    We put faces and names with our guides.  Our guide page has individual names and biography's with backgrounds of each instructor.    Every guide has extensive experience and training in the fisheries they guide.  These people are not "shop guide employees" they are professional adults with full credentials.    Sierra Drifters was established in 1998 by Tom Loe and he has selectively added additional top notch individuals to assist fly fishers.   Our guide fees are ALL inclusive! You arrive at the lake, river or stream of your choice with a license, a camera and a smile and we take care of the rest. There are no miscellaneous hidden costs.  We will NOT make you show up at a shop and add that time to your guide day.  We promise you will NOT have to  purchase flies, lines, tippets, indicators or other tackle. We supply top of the line rods and reels at no additional cost to you.  You do NOT have to rent from us.  We will NOT add a boat fee.  We DO have the finest equipment and boats in the Eastern Sierra. You will be responsible for your own personal gear which would include items such as hats, jackets, sunglasses & waders if necessary. Our guide service utilizes customized Champion & Ranger flats style bay Boats and "state of the art" drift boats custom made by Willie.   There are larger and less expensive guide services for sure, but there are none better!
