Katie Burgert

Katie grew up spin-fishing the warm rivers of western Pennsylvania every chance she could get, but when she had the opportunity to come to Colorado to chase trout, fly fishing was the obvious next step. Now, she’s found her passion, venturing deep into the backcountry in search of elusive fish and solitude. Fly fishing provides her with adventure as well as peace, and it has also introduced her to some of her closest friends through summer guiding. When she can’t be on the water,she tries to stay in the angling mindset by running Fish Untamed, a website dedicated to backcountry fly fishing.
