Go Beyond the Pages with Derek Olthuis
Fly Fusion’s Drift Sessions bridge the distance between author and reader. For the first time, Field Editor Derek Olthuis goes live on Zoom to explore his latest columns. This is your chance to experience the people, the stories, the insights, and the expertise that define Fly Fusion.
What You’ll Experience
In this Drift Session, Derek Olthuis takes us on a small-lake fishing adventure for brookies, cutthroats, and cutbows, highlighting both the thrill of the catch and the deeper experience of being on the water with friends. The session covers a range of techniques, including careful observation, nymphing near logs, and mousing for big trout along the surface. Derek reflects on the balance between chasing the fish and enjoying the camaraderie, emphasizing that fishing is as much about the people and shared experience as it is about the catch.
