Cameron Aker
2025 Annual Fly Fishing Show Presenter
Saturday, 1:30 PM – Trout Unlimited Iowa Project Update
As the Iowa Driftless Outreach Coordinator for Trout Unlimited, Cameron Aker helps connect growers, landowners, anglers, volunteer groups, and government agencies to help restore the cold-water habitats of Iowa.
Cameron has spent the last 17 years of his career in the Ag Industry, where he worked with growers, researchers, and other partners to help identify and implement solutions for growers. Much of his work has been in ag research, where he focused on various input effects on crop performances as well as cropping systems. In these roles, Cameron has managed projects between partners as well as the budgets and deliverables between them.
Cameron is originally from west central Indiana where he gained his love for the outdoors. After moving to Iowa in 2016, he began fly fishing which has quickly become an obsession. Cameron is a member of many conservation focused groups, including Trout Unlimited, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, and Hawkeye Fly Fishing Association.
Cameron and his wife Vivian live in Ames, Iowa. They enjoy hiking, canoeing, camping, and many trips to the beautiful Driftless Region of Iowa together. Cameron also enjoys hunting, fly fishing, and fly tying, whenever possible.
