Anchored Podcast Ep. 279: Clark “Cheech” Pierce on Innovation and Fly Fish Food

Clark “Cheech” Pierce is a fly tyer, educator, and co-founder of Fly Fish Food, one of the most influential fly-tying brands in the industry. Known for his creative patterns, clear instruction, and trademark sense of humour, Cheech has helped modernize fly tying for a new generation of anglers. His YouTube tutorials, product designs, and hands-on teaching have made him a go-to resource for tiers looking to sharpen their skills or explore innovative materials. In this episode of Anchored, we talk shop on materials, innovation, and the state of fly tying today, but we also get a glimpse into Cheech’s humour, hustle, and the passion that fuels everything he does.
