About Beyond the Cast – Fishing & Outdoor Photography

My Fishing Journey

Hi, I’m David Poole. I’m an angler and outdoor photographer. I have a passion for exploring waters everywhere. These range from inshore flats and coastal bays to rivers, streams, and lakes across the country. I chase redfish, speckled trout, bass, and trout through fly fishing in remote back country rivers, combining technique with adventure. My goal is to capture the catch. I also aim to capture the beauty of the water, wildlife, and wild places I explore. Every kayak trip, wade, or back country hike tells a story worth documenting.
