In the 1990s, Brian Grossenbacher was working as a fly-fishing guide in Montana when a book project led him to photography. There was no budget for photos, so Grossenbacher invested in some camera gear and learned to shoot images of fish, anglers and the environment. Thus began a second career that has taken him on adventures around the globe, targeting all kinds of fish and aiming his camera at the action. In this episode, Grossenbacher discusses a trip to Alaska where he stayed aboard a mothership that was used to discover unnamed creeks in pursuit of elusive steelhead trout. His images and story from this adventure are featured in the Winter 2025 issue of Anglers Journal. The conversation also ebbs toward other projects and books he has worked on.
