In this episode of Dads on the Fly, we sit down with Oliver White — world traveler, lodge owner, conservationist, and devoted dad — to talk about where fly fishing has taken him and what it’s taught him along the way.

From building legendary destinations like Abaco Lodge and South Fork Lodge, to co-founding Indifly and helping empower indigenous communities through sustainable fly fishing tourism, Oliver shares stories of adventure, risk, and purpose.

But this conversation goes beyond remote rivers and saltwater flats. We talk about fatherhood, raising kids in the midst of global travel, and how becoming a dad reshapes ambition, priorities, and the meaning of success. Oliver opens up about the tension between chasing wild places and staying rooted at home — and how those two worlds don’t have to compete.

Whether you’re dreaming about your next fishing trip or simply trying to be more present with your family, this episode will challenge you to think differently about adventure, legacy, and the waters that shape your life.
