Ever since I can remember I’ve fished with family. My dad mostly, and even then it was a pretty casual interest. It wasn’t until I moved back to my hometown of Revelstoke BC in 2014 that fishing became a part of my regular life. The “casual interest” soon grew into a full out obsession for me and my two sons Jayden (15) and Ryker (8) . You could find us more often than not down at the Columbia River casting for Rainbow and Bull Trout. Every so often we would take a boat trip with a local fishing guide just to try something different. This was it. I knew I had found my place in life. I never really felt like I had belonged anywhere. I never had a passion like this before. Fishing feels like home, and I knew I would own a boat one day. I bought my first boat in 2020 and upgraded to my 1825 Kingfisher Falcon soon after. Now I fish almost every weekend with my boys. Sun, rain, snow, it doesn’t matter. I have just obtained my fishing guide licence and can not wait to share this passion with others. My goal is the spark a lifelong interest in Revelstoke youth and inspire other women to pursue their dreams with grit and determination no matter what it may be.
