FLYFISHERGIRL – a resource for women, ladies, and girls fly fishing and outdoor adventure travel.
I AM A FLY FISHING GUIDE WHO USUALLY LIVES OFF-GRID IN REMOTE NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
I have been fishing for 48 of my 50 years, and of those, 44 have been spent fly fishing, a pursuit that has brought me immense joy and countless unforgettable experiences. I specialize in spey casting, a technique that allows me to gracefully present my flies in the swift waters where steelhead thrive, with steelhead being my passion and a challenge that never fails to excite me. Dry fly fishing for trout, which comes in as a close second, offers a different kind of thrill as I carefully observe the water’s surface to identify the best moments to strike. Beyond fishing, I also love rafting, navigating the wild rivers and embracing the beauty of nature. I consider myself a well-informed homesteader who has become somewhat of an off-grid guru, sharing knowledge about sustainable living and self-sufficiency with like-minded individuals who seek the same connection to the land.
