2026 Schedule Sneak Peak and Survey
Hey guys, we are excited to give you a sneak peak at Drifter's 2026 Schedule. We are in process of firming up a few things and would really appreciate your feedback on what trips you would be interested in.
This helps us as we solidify lodging and other accomadations. We also will drop any trips that do not garner enough attention. Please answer each question honestly, and feel free to drop comments at the bottom. We love member interaction.
We will be talking through this in detail during our Member Call this Sunday at 8:00 PM EST. Feel free to reach out to @Hunter Leavine directly with any questions you might have.
So pumped to build this out. As always, we are focused on building community, giving members authentic outdoor experiences, and of course...catching fish.
