WOT 157:Whitewater in West Virginia and Fishing Hard to Reach Places with Archy Archambault
Manage episode 374382986 series 3008970
In this episode we WadeOutThere with Archy Archembault from White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Archy started tying trout flies as a youth in his Florida garage before he had ever seen a real trout. He began fly fishing for saltwater fish and bass in his local waters until he fell in love with the mountains and rivers of West Virginia on a whitewater rafting trip with friends.
After separating from the Marine Corps, Archy moved to West Virginia to pursue a job as a whitewater raft guide, but when the lodge needed fishing guides, he quickly volunteered and set out to learn the rapids and the fishery, putting clients on fish while navigating whitewater. Today Archy is the head guide for The Greenbrier Resort Hotel in the heart of some of West Virginia’s best fly fishing.
We discuss introducing newcomers to fly fishing in West Virginia, why Archy loves getting to places that are hard to get to when chasing fish, as well as reading water and presentation techniques for fishing whitewater from a raft.
