Kayla Roys

Kayla was raised to appreciate the outdoors, whether she was out camping, hiking, hunting, or fishing. Over the last 10 years, fly fishing has morphed from simply a hobby to a passion and a profession. She has used my experience over the years to work with Alaska Fly Fishing Goods and Trout Unlimited to teach and encourage women about fly fishing.  Fishing is a way for Kayla to connect with the outdoors and leave the daily hustle of life behind for a while, and if she can help introduce that concept to another person, then she is happy. “Rain or shine, you can find me out on the water!” she says.
