PROFILE OF A FLY FISHERMAN
Emily Rodger We’re totally in favour of 50/50 on the water, but - as it looks right now, perhaps especially in Europe - there’s still a long way to go. To get more women into fly fishing, it’s important that female fly fishing ambassadors are provided with the platforms they deserve to make an impact and facilitate recruitment. Emily Rodger, a former 2x UCI GF Cycling World Champion, an avid outdoors person and keen fly fisher is one of those empowering people who is capable of making such an impact. Having pursued a career as a professional athlete, Emily is a goal-oriented and uncompromising individual, who is determined to make the most of her life. And, as she will tell you, fly fishing ties seamlessly up with this mentality. We’ve had a chat with Emily about her background, about her competitive career, and about how she got into fly fishing and where it has taken her.
