Born outside Vancouver, BC, Cat Laflamme had a fly rod in her hands by 12, thanks to her father, and has spent her life chasing steelhead, salmon, and trout across British Columbia and beyond. After years working with April Vokey's Fly Gal Ventures, she joined Michael & Young Fly Shop, where she's spent the last decade helping anglers and creating new patterns inspired by the materials around her. Co-founder of the BC Women's Fly-Fishing Group, Cat is passionate about building inclusive, positive spaces that introduce more women to the sport.
