Andrew Clingman

Andrew Clingman moved to Carbondale from New Hampshire and was such a fanatic that we had to hire him. His shop tab was about 10x more than his income that first season of guiding (and continues to run the largest tab)! Over the years, Andrew has built up a great list of repeat clientele because he is such a fishy guy with a style that is anything but conventional. His biggest thrills are catching trashfish like carp, suckers, black drum, jacks etc. on the weirdest fly rigs and rods possible. He has also become a very good teacher of Czech/Euro nymph styles.  Infectious and tons of fun, Andrew lifts the spirits of all those around him. Andrew’s skill with a fly rod in his hand are unmatched – except for his wife Annette, who he readily admits is the better angler (she is!). This dynamic fishing duo frequently travel together chasing steelhead and salmon with two-handers in the PNW, sailfish and marlin in Mexico, stripers back east and so, so much more. You’ll want to book this very busy fishing guide well in advance.
