While on a trip in Alaska, Katie got a taste of fly fishing for the first time. Just some time later, she attended the Columbus Fishing Expo and picked up her first fly rod from the Mad River Outfitters booth. From then on, she was hooked. With a heart for the outdoors and staying active, you can often find Katie spreading her love for the sport of fly fishing with her friends, fishing and guiding from her raft and chasing smallies when in Ohio, brookies in WV and cutthroat in alpine lakes.
Always on the move, Katie is an avid rock climber and wakeboarder. Her top fly fishing memory comes from backpacking through the Wind River Range in Wyoming and fishing for trout in the alpine lakes. Katie helps out with everything from the website to social media and our soft goods department. Her passion for the sport, sharing it with others and teaching it makes her indispensable here at Mad River Outfitters and we're excited to see her future in the world of fly fishing!
