Clairey Sasser Grubbs

Hello! I’m Clairey and I’m a fly fishing addict. I was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and moved to Jackson, Wyoming, in the winter of 1994 at the young age of 19. As a life-long conventional angler I was a bit stubborn about picking up a fly rod. It wasn’t until the spring of 2009–a few months after I met my now husband–that I finally gave in and began fly-fishing full time. A couple years later, I was headed on an all-girls fishing trip with some friends from social media. It was then that I discovered a lot about myself and angling as a whole. After that I began working with my friend, Heather Hodson, with United Women on the Fly. I was inspired by the unique bond and connection I saw female anglers sharing and decided to create a group close to home with full support from my husband and a two close fishing brothers. Shortly after, Christy Carlson and I founded Lady Anglers of WyDaho. I work part time at Orvis of Jackson Hole and am a board member for a local non-profit, Stripping for a Cure. I’m a regional fly sister for United Women on the Fly, a social-media liaison for the group, and run Lady Anglers of Wydaho’s social media too.
