Dave Weskamp

Dave started with the Henry’s Fork Foundation in February of 2021 as the South Fork Initiative Program Manager. Dave uses his fisheries experience and strong belief in partnerships and HFF’s science-based approach to keep projects moving forward in the South Fork Snake Watershed. From early memories biking to his local creek to catch catfish and bass, Dave’s passion for fishing and love of the outdoors led him to a B.S. degree in freshwater fisheries from Humboldt State University. Dave has worked for the Yurok Tribe Fisheries Program on the Klamath River, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Trout Unlimited, and The Nature Conservancy. Dave enjoys time on the water, especially in Idaho, but also saltwater fishing for bonefish and roosterfish, gardening, beekeeping, and hunting for elk, waterfowl and mushrooms. 

“I sincerely look forward to keeping the momentum going on the South Fork Snake and connecting with more community members, guides, and outfitters to learn and share how we can support each other. Whether you are an angler, farmer, or any other type of water user, understanding and respecting everyone’s values for river enjoyment and livelihood has become one of my key principles in river and fisheries management.”
