Andy Weiner is a passionate fly angler and the author of Down By the River, an award-winning children’s book that celebrates the joys of fly fishing and family. With a deep-rooted commitment to the power of storytelling and healing, Andy draws inspiration from his late father, Jack B. Weiner—a prolific writer and recovered alcoholic whose influential works include the seminal A Day at a Time and the novel The Morning After. Andy’s dedication to recovery and the outdoors shapes both his writing and his life. He lives in Sonoma, California, where he continues to fish, write, and advocate for meaningful connection through words and water. In this episode of Anchored, we dive into his story—the one beyond the pages.
