Cpt. Robin Simms: Fly Fishing Guide & Boat Captain
Cpt Robin Simms, Alabama Native, a mom of two daughters, Co Founder of Alabama Women on the Fly, Mayfly project mentor, a renegade on the oars of a drift boat, and a Coast Guard Certified Boat Captain. We met Robin a year ago when we were at the International Fly Fishing film festival show there in Birmingham, AL supporting the “Slam That Saves” a short film by our friends at Dorsal Outdoors and featuring Mary Beth Meeks and Dr. Redeye Himself Matt Lewis, all of which have joined us for an episode. Robin sat with us for a short segment and shared a couple of stories but we felt like it was time to do a full episode together.
In this episode, we sit down with Captain Robin Simms, who just received her certification to operate 150 foot vessels. Robin is a longtime friend of the show and vital member of the Alabama flyfishing community. We previously had Robin on the show in a mini episode at the international fly fishing film festival at Cahaba brewery in Spring of 2023. We go into more depth with Robin in this episode and discuss Alabama women on the fly, her guide services, and a host of other topics centered around a life lived on the water… Including a harrowing story from her time in Alaska involving a very little boat on very big waves. We absolutely love what Robin brings to this episode, as well as what she brings to the outdoor community with her innovative approach to getting new people on the water. We hope you enjoy!
