Embrace the Wild with April Vokey

ABOUT

Who is April Vokey?

Hi there!

I’m April Vokey, fly fisher, outdoorswoman, casting instructor, podcaster, membership coordinator for Anchored Outdoors, mother, world-traveler, DIY enthusiast, and master of dirty jokes.

My journey in the fly fishing world has been one of passion, dedication, and unwavering advocacy for the sport. As a toddler, I was engrossed in the pursuit—meticulously assembling my tackle box with an array of lures and baits, and by my late teens I discovered fly fishing and knew it was something I had to do every day.

Over the years, I’ve been humbled by talented anglers and a supportive community that eventually drove me to start Anchored Outdoors, an online membership platform that has been my most fulfilling venture to date!

What started as the Anchored Podcast has been forged into something more inclusive and I hope you’ll join me on my journey, both here on my personal website, and at Anchored Outdoors where we work together to be better… better anglers, better people and better fishing buddies. Reach out to me personally at [email protected] and I’ll get you set up with a complimentary membership! 
I look forward to getting to know you better soon!

Sincerely,

April
