Dylan Barker (@BarkerOnTheFly) is a fly fishing and outdoor adventure content creator known for cinematic visuals, authentic storytelling, and a deep-rooted passion for wild places. A lifelong angler and outdoor enthusiast, Dylan has spent the last decade immersed in the world of fly fishing, building a career that blends the sport he loves with high-quality filmmaking and storytelling.

Dylan occupies a rare place in the outdoor industry. He has worked across the full creative pipeline including marketing, photography, video, and large-scale production while also spending time as a full-time fly fishing guide. This combination gives him a sharp creative eye, a guide’s on-the-water intuition, and the ability to produce content that feels real, grounded, and deeply connected to the sport.

Originally from South Carolina and currently based in St. Petersburg, Florida, Dylan’s work is shaped by the coastlines, marshes, flats, mountains and rivers he spends his life exploring. Across Instagram alone, his content reaches more than 230,000 monthly views and more than 75,000 accounts, supported by an engaged community of more than 5,000 followers who come for the content, stay for the storytelling, and trust his perspective on gear, conservation, and outdoor lifestyle.

Beyond deliverables, Dylan approaches each partnership as a creative collaboration. He helps brands translate their values, products, and message into visuals that resonate with real anglers and outdoor audiences. Whether capturing a single product moment or building a full seasonal library, his focus is on creating content that feels authentic, performs well, and holds long-term value.

Dylan offers full-service content creation including short-form social video, longer cinematic brand pieces, and high-quality photography for both organic and paid use. Dylan also provides collaborative posting and UGC-style content that feels native to brand feeds while maintaining a premium visual standard.

Dylan is committed to conservation and works closely with Tampa Bay Waterkeeper, Captains for Clean Water, and other organizations focused on protecting Florida’s estuaries, coasts, and the nation’s public lands. Conservation is a core value woven through all of his work.

Dylan has past partnered with respected outdoor brands including Columbia PFG, Costa Sunglasses, Nautilus Fly Reels, AirFlo Fly Lines, Duck Head Apparel, Cayo Boatworks, and others. He is continuing to grow his personal brand and is seeking new partnerships heading into 2026 with companies that value authenticity, fly fishing culture, and meaningful outdoor storytelling.

Most days, you will find Dylan on the water with a fly rod in hand and a camera over his shoulder, always exploring, always creating, and always chasing moments worth sharing.
