Kenny grew up in a fly fishing family with roots stretching back to California's Yuba River gold mining era. His father taught him to fish and tie young, and by age 10 he'd surpassed his dad at the vise. After a career spanning guiding in Alaska and Northern California, retail, instruction, and rod building, Kenny co-founded Fly Water Travel in 1999. A driven innovator, he finds deep fulfillment in creating flies that are both beautiful and functional — always chasing the next solution to an everyday angling challenge.
