Meet Scott

Steelhead fishing Kingfisher Fly Shop

We have a great crew of guys working here at The Kingfisher and wanted to give them a chance to introduce themselves.  Next up is Scott Hickey.

.I was born and raised here in Missoula, MT! One of my first times I can remember fly fishing was when my family and I backpacked into the Bob Marshall for eighteen days. This is where the addiction began. I still vividly remember my eleven year old self trying to tie clinch knots, snapping flies off, catching cutthroats, and was convinced that the Royal Wulff was by far the best fly out there.

Since then I have learned a lot more Montana favorite flies and alot more knots! Also, I have been back in ” The Bob” every year since then.  I spent my college days over at MSU in Bozeman and fell in love with another beautiful part of our great state (don’t worry I am still a Griz fan!) . I came out of Bozeman with more of a streamer fishing degree than anything and still practice throwing rabbit and marabou concoctions on a regular basis. I made a lot of great fishing connections with people and am very knowledgeable of the water systems just in case your traveling to Cat country.

I am also a avid fly tier and am always on top of the new cutting edge patterns out there. Stop on by the shop if your looking for some new patterns to tie up for the hatch around the corner!
