​

My name is Rob Deakin, and I'm the owner of Natural Drift Anglers, LLC. I have loved fishing since I can remember and have been hooked on fly fishing for 26 years. I grew up in Fort Collins, and have caught many fish in many places. I have guided professionally for several years and taught multiple friends and family members how to fly fish. During the school year, I am an elementary school Media/Technology specialist and teach kindergarteners-5th graders how to use the computer to create and how find the right book in the library. I have the patience it takes to teach you what you need to know to catch fish with a fly rod!

​

While I'm always searching for "the lunker," I find joy in fooling any size fish into biting the fly I present. Whether it's from a boat, shore, or wading in a river or lake, there's just an indescribable feeling I get that I'd love to share with you. Got kids? Bring 'em on! I find extra joy in sharing a lifelong healthy hobby with the young 'uns.
