About Us
Due West Anglers was born in 2019 from a passion for the sport and an insatiable desire to ask “why?” Too often, fishing advice lacks a scientific foundation... so we set out to change that.
With advanced degrees in watershed science, aquatic ecology, and conservation—and project experience ranging from cutthroat to salmon to sturgeon—we turned our focus to better bridge the gap between science and fly fishing.
DWA is for anglers seeking informed, science-backed insights on sportfish, natural history, and the waters they call home—plus an honest look at gear, and a few good stories from the road.

Check Out What We've Been Up To Lately
Based out of Denver, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, all the favorite spots are West from us. It was a running joke when asked where we’re headed — we always pointed West!
These days we realize that West is more a state of mind, and anywhere is West if you take the long way around. We've never visited a fishery that didn't fascinate, so we try not to leave anything behind, east, west, north or south... just don't say anything about the name if you catch us headed east.
If you're interested in fly fishing, aquatic conservation, or the science behind the fish we chase, you're in the right place.
