The Itinerant Angler Podcast, Season Four, Episode Six

|
Few people of any stripe start their own businesses in their mid-twenties, but next to none go about it quite like April Vokey. Unconventional in the extreme, the rare woman in a man's world, April has overcome everything from institutional prejudice to a car accident which nearly ended her fishing career - by taking her foot. Through it all, April not only maintained an upbeat attitude; she took it to a whole different plane. "Damn right you can wear mascara," April tells her fellow female anglers. "You wear it to the grocery store; why can't you wear it to the river? Why would you have to look like a boy to fish like one?" Why indeed? Don't miss this extremely unique voice - for her insights into angling, into steelhead, and into perseverance. This week: new music from Dana Falconberry! |

April is the real deal.

Her story, enthusiasm, intellect and expertise make for one of the most enjoyable and inspiring 'listens' of a long time. I am lucky enough to be on a forum that boost Ms. Vokey and other great fly fishers as members. We all have a great deal to learn from each and every person we meet on and off the river. April, I look forward to meeting you one day.
