David has fished almost since he could walk. He’s spent many hours on the banks of the Bow and has been fortunate enough to travel overseas where he’s fished for New Zealand’s elusive browns, Africa’s predatory tiger fish, Cuba’s eager bonefish, and whatever felt like eating along western Australia’s and Baja’s coasts. Dave’s most recent fishing excursions have been scouring Cuba’s flats for permit and exploring Florida’s coast.

Closer to home she enjoys streamer and dry fly fishing on the Bow River within minutes of home and work and loves fishing to Cutthroat trout in nearby smaller waters.
