I found this site a few years back and was immediately attracted to it for a couple of reasons.
The Itinerant Angler is run by Zach Mathews and his wife Lauren. It is an outlet for Zach’s passion for fly fishing, photography and writing. Zach is a frequent contributor to many of the popular fly fishing magazines in terms of both the written word and photography.
Today the Itinerant Angler is probably one of the best fly fishing sites out there. Zach has invested real time and effort in providing a visually appealing website and in ensuring the site runs without a hitch. In a big difference from other fly fishing sites Zach requires users to register and be known by their real name. This ensures a level of decorum not found in many other places. It is hard to be snarky to someone when you are posting under your full name.
This has provided an outlet where people respect each other and genuinely treat others well. In addition the Itinerant Angler is a haven for other outdoor photographers. There is so much talent concentrated on the Itinerant Angler it just isn’t funny.
Probably the best thing about the Itinerant Angler is that it is also an outlet for Zach’s podcast of the same name. This podcast is probably the best fly fishing one out there. It isn’t frequent but the content is pure gold when Zach can put out an episode.
Today the Itinerant Angler is probably my favorite site and the one where I spend the most time just soaking in the collective knowledge there.
