Default Inspirational Lady Guide: Linda Vokey

Came across this Lady Guide's story as a regular listener of the Itinerant Angler Podcasts:

Click the image to open in full size.

www.flygal.ca


Very enlightened young woman with a strong perspective on the angling industry and a great tale of courage: in piecing her life back after adversity and starting her own guiding business... all before the age of thirty. Yes she is very attractive but has the scruples to match the charm and is very insightful on ecological issues affecting her own fishery in god's own BC.

Some great podcasts on this site to keep you focused on the angling season to come as well as a mix of perspectives for the lady anglers among us: Might even make you forget the bad aftertaste of mad dog Mr Connor.

Cheers,

Brent.

Brent,

I just received through the post today the third issue of "Chasing Silver", a new quarterly magazine from the continent, but with writers worldwide, and there's an article by the very same lady (I think) with pics of her and some pretty impressive steelies. Also lots of shots of her Spey flies and how to tie her favourites.


Cheers

As noted in the heading for podcast her name is April Vokey -- no offense meant but saw you got her as LINDA Vokey instead in heading of thread!!! But her story is quite inspirational -- check out my post re: Flies For Fins.
