Welcome To Beaver Islands Fly Co.

I’m owner, fly tier, and guide; Captain Drew Poganski. I created this company with one thing in mind; offer the highest quality flies and guided fishing experience to anglers of every skill level.

I’ve spent the majority of my adult life floating down the waters of the Upper Mississippi in Minnesota. It is home to bruiser smallmouth and some of the biggest, baddest muskies in North America. Both these fish offer unique challenges and big time rewards.

Through long days on the river and late nights at the vice, I have put years of passion, problem solving, and a whole heck of a lot of failure into figuring out these fish. All the flies you will find for sale, I fish personally on a daily basis. No corners cut, no cost effective materials, and definitely no lack of attention to detail.

Sitting smack dab in the heart of smallmouth and musky country, it all comes together on the water. Offering guided trips allows me to showcase my favorite fisheries, flies, and fish this company was built on. I am a USCG licensed Captain and with that I can offer a safe and knowledgable Northwoods fishing experience on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

If you have any questions on any flies, products, or guided trips; please shoot me an email and I will be happy to answer your questions. 

Cheers,

Drew
