PEYTON
Peyton was born and raised in a small town just outside of Spokane, WA. She now calls the Boise area home and loves exploring this great state. Peyton has fond memories of catching steelhead with her dad at a young age, as well as going out camping with her family. Peyton loves fly fishing, camping, and hiking. She is also passionate about helping our youth. She has experience as a young life leader, acting as a mentor to high school aged kids. Peyton is an example of how women are, and will continue to be, leaders in fly fishing and the outdoors.
KURT
Kurt was raised in LaGrande Oregon and spent much of his time growing up in the outdoors. Kurt is currently going to college in Walla Walla, WA. After earning a degree in Watershed Ecology Kurt plans on transferring to the University of Idaho to study Fisheries. He enjoys fly fishing, waterfowl hunting, and big game hunting. Waterfowl hunting is Kurt’s passion and over the last few years he has been fortunate enough to take some kids out on some pretty special youth waterfowl hunts. Kurt loves getting the younger generations out into the wild to expose them to the outdoors. Kurt is passionate in both teaching the young generation skills specific to these lifestyles, and also in teaching them conservation to preserve the future of our environment. Kurt believes that “When taking a kid out into the wild, it won’t lead to overpopulation of these lifestyles, but will actually help keep these wonderful lifestyles of ours alive, and create leaders for the future of our wild lands.”
