Andrew Ashby

Member since January 2025 New Smyrna Beach, United States
Background
I've been an avid angler ever since the day I could hold a fishing rod in my hands. My humble beginnings started in the Mountains of Virginia, chasing after Native Brookies and rainbows in the small creeks and rivers of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From there, I ventured North to Alaska and fell in love with North Americans Last Frontier. Through the years I’ve been fortunate and honored to take a wide variety of clients fishing. From business owners to Hollywood personalities, Pro Athletes, and Top executives. I've also been fortunate to be a part of the Wounded Warriors Outdoor program, guiding some of the most impressive and brave men and women you’ll ever meet. During the late summer and fall, you'll find me in a tent in the tundra guiding Caribou, Moose, and Brown Bear hunts. After my season ends in October, I head for warmer weather and the calmer waters of Florida, where I've honed my skills in Mosquito lagoon chasing Reds, Snook, and Tarpon.
