Anchored Podcast Ep. 255: Kathy Ruddick on Trailblazing, Owning BC’s Biggest Fly Shop, Invisibility and More

Anchored with April Vokey

Kathy Ruddick is a world-renowned angler with decades of experience spanning fishing, teaching, retail, and media. Even before global travel was popular, Kathy fished in destinations such as British Columbia, Cuba, Belize, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and more. A trailblazer in competitive fly fishing, Kathy was the first woman selected for an international team, competing at the highest levels of the sport.

As the owner of Vancouver's iconic Ruddick's Fly Shop, Kathy has been a cornerstone of the fly-fishing community, combining her passion for the sport with her expertise in teaching fly fishing and casting. In this episode of Anchored, we take a closer look at how Kathy got into fly fishing, and I finally get to pick her brain after decades of curiosity about this amazing woman.
