About us and taking the road less traveled...

Meet Noelle:  

I grew up in a small town in Ohio with a father who lived to hunt and fish and with a mother who was a hard “hell no”. You could say I grew up “outdoorsy,” but my passions outside of sports became camping, skiing, mountain biking, and getting buzzed on patios. I went fishing with my Dad multiple times but spin casting just wasn’t my jam. Hello, Brad Pitt, in a “River Runs Through It” and the idea of fly fishing piqued my interest. Fast-forward to a few years ago when I tried fly fishing for the first time and immediately fell in love. When I fall for something I go all in. Bugs, currents, gear, you name it; I was studying it. During my research, I noticed a lack of female representation in the sport. On a recent trip to Colorado the enthusiasm Ali and I experienced on the river sporting cheeky hats and slaying fish was infectious. And that is where Incredibly Fishy was born. Follow us on our journey as we balance our corporate lives and our passion for the outdoors.

Meet Ali: 

After giving my mom so much shit that I didn't have a baby book, she finally made me one for my 3oth birthday.  This baby book had at least 100 pictures in it...and not one was of me in the state of Ohio.  The pictures were of me as an infant at the beach and shortly after, the Indy 500.  Pictures as a toddler trying to pet the fish while it was still on the hook and of me riding an Amtrak Train out West.  It was then that I realized where my love for traveling came from.  As for fishing, well...I think I was hooked when I got my first pink fishing pole and a container of blood worms.  

My Dad is the best Fisherman I know. And being a Daddy's girl meant following him around and learning everything I possibly could. My mom on the other hand, taught me how to be a total bad ass.  And that combination is what made me who I am today. 

Fast-forward to few years ago when I met Noelle at a horse race in Kentucky. When Noelle got into Fly Fishing, I watched her nerd out on bugs and gear and I paid no attention.  That is until she booked us on a fly fishing trip to Colorado (I guess I am an easy target). I bought the gear, the flies, and the flight.  My first fish on a fly, a beautiful Palomino... and I was hooked...again.  

We may be taking the road less traveled but I hope you join us as as there is still so much more to learn and experience.
