Erin Kimsey
Erin grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania, learning to fish along the Delaware River with her dad. After graduating from Penn State, she moved to DC area. Her passion for the outdoors is what propelled her into learning how to fly fish.
Erin takes every opportunity to get into the woods or out on the water, enjoying the pursuit of trout and bass all over VA, MD, PA, NY, ME and a foray into saltwater in Tampa, and the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
