About
Brian Braudis is the creator of Fly Fisher Fitness. A life-long outdoor-type, he dived deeply into flyfishing—with earnest after retiring as a Certified Wildlife Biologist and Manager for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Brian has been exercising for over 40 years but getting older served as an awakening. The biology of aging creates a demand to shift from exercising to *training as though your life depends on it….because it does!
Exercising and feverishly pushing to stay fit (while raising a family and moving around the country for work) and not slide backwards started long ago serving in Arduous Duty fire fighter and other positions for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Trial and error, iteration and consistency, always trying a little harder–that’s entry-level fitness effort for wild-land firefighting. This is some of what Brian brings to Fly Fisher Fitness.
Brian is a biologist, fly fisher, outdoorsman, Certified Coach and Certified Fitness Trainer for Older Adults—with boots-on-the-ground expertise.
Fly Fisher Fitness purpose: deciphering the latest clinical research and exercise science. From that, developing training strategies specifically designed to help fly fishers’ and outdoor types, stay out longer and fish harder not only in all terrain and conditions but with vigor regardless of age.
Fitness apps are fine but Brian’s work is anchored in a personal approach merged with science, art and creativity to meet you where you are.
Brian doesn’t profess to have all the answers. But, he can help you get started and provide tools and inspiration for you to keep yourself fit for a long, vigorous life fly-fishing.
Aquatic biology helps us fish better. Learning human biology will help us age better.
