Purist On The Fly

Instagram’s PuristOnTheFly is a Meme/Comedy account that has a real lean toward fishing ethics, conservation, and the sanctity of fly fishing as an activity.

What struck me the most about my conversation with Purist was how down to earth he is. He’s been fishing most of his life, both on the east coast and now in the Western United States. He takes great care to catch and handle fish in ways that promote sustainability and long term fisheries that our kids can enjoy.

We talked about how he got his start in fly fishing, what moved him to start the account, where he gets his inspiration from, how he interacts with micro-influencers and more.
