A Word from Morgan Knowels

From a young age I was obsessed with the outdoors. As an adult, nothing scared me more than working an office job. I began my career working in fly shops and have since worked as a full time fishing guide, writer and sales rep for large fly fishing manufactures. When I’m not “working” you’ll find me doing the exact same things I do for a job – fishing, chasing bird dogs, skiing, backpacking, and running rivers in my raft.
