Welcome back to another episode of The Flylords Podcast, where we sit down with anglers, guides, and fishy people to learn more about their journeys into fly fishing. In today’s episode, we sit down with biologist and angler Dr. Andy Danylchuk to learn more about his journey into fisheries biology, fly fishing, and his ongoing research on golden dorado.
Andy grew up in Southern Ontario before moving stateside, where he would go on to become a professor of Fish Conservation at UMass Amherst. Here, he is a leading voice in global conservation, using his research to advance safe fish handling practices across the world. On our trip to Argentina with Andy, we joined him in the field to collect data on golden dorado that would help advance meaningful conservation projects. Join us as we sit down with Andy, who shares insights on why golden dorado are so unique, the challenges they face, and how science-driven conservation can ensure a future for both the fish and the fisheries they support.
