Emily Rodger, a former Canadian and world champion cyclist has a new passion - fly fishing. She shows a brown trout caught on one of her expeditions.

It’s typical for Emily Rodger to wake at 4 a.m. each day. The early rise is necessary for the sought-after executive coach, inspirational speaker, award-winning cyclist, gifted fly-fisher, podcast host and philanthropist to accomplish everything on her to-do list.

We’re totally in favor of 50/50 on the water, but—as it looks right now, especially in Europe—there’s still a long way to go. To get more women into fly fishing, it’s important that female fly fishing ambassadors are provided with the platforms they deserve to make an impact and facilitate recruitment.

There are many things I admire about Emily Rodger, a high-performance athlete, including her strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
