Kate Crump (and her husband and two dogs) owns and operates a fishing lodge in King Salmon, Alaska, where she spends her summers and early fall, guiding for Trout and Salmon. But since that’s not an all-year endeavor up there, she and her family then spend fall through spring in Rockaway Beach, OR at their steelhead lodge – which they also own, operate, and guide out of. We admire Kate for her restless approach to life and work, but she also leads by example in her commitment to conservation of the fisheries in her two home states, and is an incredibly accomplished angler. She’s even got the Slam under her belt, which is catching Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon, all in the same day, all on fly. Just try to keep up with Kate.
