April Vokey
British Columbia
April Vokey lives in British Columbia and is an avid angler and steelhead, salmon and trout guide. She was born with an unexplainable passion for fishing. As a young girl she coaxed her father into going fishing and by the age of sixteen, when she was old enough to drive, she was devoting all of her free time to her local rivers.
She is passionate about Spey casting to wild steelhead, the environment and tying Salmon/Steelhead flies. She has made it her mission to encourage and introduce aspiring anglers to the sport, in hopes that it will bring them as much pleasure as it has brought her. She takes pride in being an eternal student of fly-fishing.
In 2007 she founded B.C. based guiding operation, Fly Gal Ventures, where she presently guides and instructs anglers on some of B.C.’s best steelhead destinations. Fly Gal’s trips and events can be found at www.flygal.ca
April is a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor and fly-fishing columnist. She is the Canadian field editor for Chasing Silver magazine and her works and photos can also be found in Fly Fusion, Salmon Trout Steelheader (STS), Field and Stream, Canadian Fly Fisher, Fly Fisherman Magazine, Flyfishing and Tying journal and several other international magazines.
She is a lead angler for Fly Max Films where she travels across the world, fly-fishing for every species of fish imaginable.
We are thrilled to have April as a guest fly tyer at Mad River Outfitters!
