"I have always had a strong sense for adventure and deep love for nature. Fly Fishing is an ideal way for me to fulfill my love for the outdoors. My dad taught me the art of fly-fishing when I was very young. We would wake up before the sunrise, load up the kayaks and head out to catch stripers and blues in Long Island Sound. Spending the mornings watching the sunrise while holding a striper, I realized that my dad was giving me a lifelong gift. My passion led me to many different rivers and streams throughout the east coast. I quickly became even more obsessed with fly-fishing while attending the University of Montana. When not in class I was always on the river, which led me to guiding. I guided on a variety of different rivers and creeks throughout Missoula, Bozeman and Glacier. I’ve also been lucky enough to spend time on the serene flats of the Bahamas and Mexico. The feeling of standing on a flats boat in the tropics while casting to spooky bonefish is as good as it gets in my opinion."
"I moved to Washington to pursue my passion of fishing and guiding. I work for Emerald Water Anglers in Seattle as a guide, shop employee and the women's program director. I have created a popular program here specifically for woman. In the past the sport has been male dominated, but that is quickly changing! I organize trips, events, schools and casting clinics just for women. It is an incredible thing to see a group of ladies come together to have fun and learn how beautiful the art of fly fishing can be. Scott Rods is a leader in promoting fly fishing for women, their new rods specifically designed for us fisher girls is proof of that. By far my favorite rods to cast. It is my goal to inspire as many women as possible to get involved in this wonderful sport."
