    Hey Zach,

    I have read a lot of your articles, the first one I read was about using a mapping GPS for fishing, I think it was in American Angler. Great read, my questions is how did you get into writing articles?

    The Itinerant Angler

    Hey man –

    I got an English degree in college and used to help my friend Dewey Hildebrand out with a defunct website called Fly Fishing Today. Some of the guys here will remember that. One day we decided we needed some content besides a forum, so we both wrote a few articles. One of mine happened to be on a topic which was being fact-checked by Phil Monahan, then editor for American Angler magazine. Phil reached out to me through an old school email and asked if I’d be interested in writing for him a little bit. I jumped on that, and I haven’t really stopped writing since.

    Incidentally this site was created when Fly Fishing Today’s servers got hacked and Dewey decided to let it go. So in a sense The Itinerant Angler is is a cousin of that site (which itself was a cousin of the old Flyfish.com in much the same way).
