About Us
Owner, Creative Director
Will Phelps
Will Phelps is a filmmaker and fly fishing enthusiast originally from the Southeast, where his passion for art and exploration first took root. As his creative ambitions began to outgrow the confines of his surroundings, he followed the call of the wild west to Montana—a place where his love for cinematic storytelling and fly fishing could fully converge.
Will is on a mission to redefine how fly fishing is portrayed on screen. Through striking visuals, compelling narratives, and candid conversations with seasoned anglers, he delivers content that speaks to both hardcore fly fishers and those simply drawn to the beauty of the outdoors. His work stands out for its authenticity, depth, and a clear reverence for nature.
When he's not behind the lens, you’ll find Will deep in the mountains, wading through rivers, or chasing fish in remote corners of the world. His adventures often lead him off the beaten path, driven by a DIY spirit and a relentless curiosity for the next great story.
In recent years, Will has shifted focus toward growing his YouTube channel, Phelps on the Fly. Traveling in a converted van with his wife and their black lab, he documents their life on the road—chasing fish, snow, and adventure. The channel blends cinematic storytelling with real-world exploration, featuring fly fishing across diverse landscapes, behind-the-scenes filmmaking insights, and collaborations with other outdoor creatives. Through Phelps on the Fly, Will continues to connect with a growing audience while inspiring others to get outside, explore more, and fish deeper.
