Here’s your introduction to them: APRIL VOKEY After discovering a passion for fly fishing in her late teens, April Vokey soon dedicated her entire life to the pursuit. She began her guiding career on the Fraser and Harrison rivers for sturgeon and salmon, but left after several season to found her own guiding operation, Fly Gal Ventures, in 2007 at age 24. The company was built on the basis of the promotion of education and encouragement to those who looked to chase their dreams. She has since established herself as a respected authority in the sport and has traveled the globe in pursuit of gamefish on a fly rod. ALANNAH HURLEY – Executive Director, United Tribes of Bristol Bay Alannah (Yup’ik) was born and raised in the Bristol Bay region. Originally from Clark’s Point, she now resides in Dillingham.

LINDSEY BLOOM – Campaign Strategist, Salmon State Born and raised in Juneau, Alaska, campaign strategist Lindsey Bloom is a second generation Bristol Bay gillnet captain.
