As an avid fly angler, Lindsay has spent many days on the water learning about and appreciating the symbiotic relationships of the ecosystem. She is an internationally recognized fly angler, guide, and conservation advocate whose career connects elite competitive achievement with decades of hands-on stewardship of rivers. She has represented the United States at all five Ladies Fly Fishing World Championships, earned multiple top-10 finishes, and helped the USA team secure its first gold medal in 2025.

A University of Montana graduate with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Business Management and Marketing, she has operated a sales and consulting business for over 20 years. In addition, she has helped operate Fly Fishing Only Adventures with her husband, Andy. Guiding gives her the opportunity to share deep expertise of fly fishing while advocating to protect the ecosystems that sustain Montana’s outdoor economy.

Born and raised in Montana, Lindsay’s commitment to conservation was shaped by growing up on a large farm east of Billings. That background inspired her advocacy for outdoor access, healthy rivers, and the responsible use of natural resources.
