Kiki Galvin has been fishing for more than 40 years.
Having grown up in New York State near the Finger Lakes, an area famous for small mouth bass and lake trout, Kiki spent many
summers sitting on docks catching fish on good old fashioned worms with a Zebco rod.
But having honed her fly fishing
skills for more than a decade, that Zebco rod is long since gone. In recent years Kiki has fly fished her way up and down
the East Coast, and likewise makes annual trips westward to fish the big waters of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, including
Yellowstone Lake and the Madison, Soda Butte, Gallatin, Snake, and Big Horn Rivers.
In June 2002, she was certified
by Reel Women Adventures in Idaho as a professional fly fishing guide, and is now sharing her passion for the sport with other
anglers. Hoping to encourage other women to become more engaged in fly fishing, she also gives of her time as President of
Chesapeake Women Anglers and is on the staff of Casting for Recovery, a national program teaching women how to fly fish as
a part of their recovery from breast cancer. In addition she is a fly fishing instructor with L.L. Bean's Outdoor Discovery
Schools.
Kiki is an active member of Trout Unlimited (TU), Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF), and International Women
Fly Fishers (IWFF). She has been featured in Southern Living Magazine and has taught casting classes for the National Capital
Chapter of Trout Unlimited’s annual fly fishing show. Last October she also taught along side Fanny Krieger at the IWFF Festival
in the Pocono Mountains.
Kiki’s guiding services can take you throughout Virginia and Maryland for catch and release
fly fishing trips for brook, brown, and rainbow trout.
Her motto is “Kiss More Fish!”
