Had a great conversation with Zach Otte, an international fly fishing guide and talented artist. Zach’s journey has taken him across the world—from guiding in Patagonia and the Amazon to calling Key West home. In this episode, we dive into his adventures in Argentina, where he explored the diverse landscapes of Patagonia, guided anglers in world-class fisheries, and discovered the thrill of Stillwater fishing. We also discuss his time in the Amazon, where he built a dugout canoe, worked on conservation efforts with indigenous communities, and pursued legendary species like peacock bass and arapaima. Finally, Zach shares how his passion for fishing influences his artwork, bringing the beauty and energy of fly fishing to life on canvas. Enjoy this fascinating conversation with a true explorer of both water and art.
