Kayla grew up in Southeast Alaska, where she spent her time camping, fishing, hiking and hunting in the wilds of the area. Kayla has worked in the fly fishing industry for nearly a decade, from being the fly shop girl, to working in fish conservation, to encouraging women to join the sport of fly fishing. Kayla’s favorite fish to chase is the mighty King Salmon. She says there is nothing like the pull of a chrome bright Chinook straight out of the ocean on the end of her line.

While Kayla is still an Alaskan gal at heart, life changes have taken her to new locations with new adventures.  She now calls Tucson, Arizona home. You can find her exploring the Sonoran Desert and the White Mountains, where she now enjoys chasing wild Gila and Apache trout and quail.
