As a woman fly fisher, I chase every fish species of each state, venturing into remote backcountry and navigating wild waters with passion.
We would like to thank you for supporting Katherine Lindberg in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid the National Park Foundation in their mission to protect, preserve, and connect people everywhere to the wonder of parks.
I dream of hitting up Yosemite and Glacier National Parks. Picture me fly fishing in pristine waters, rock climbing famous rock faces, and soaking in those iconic views. If there’s a “National Parks Extreme Adventurer” award, I’m ready to win it with a fishing rod in one hand and a climbing harness in the other!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure? Kayaking the entire north shore of Lake Superior in 40 days—talk about a wild ride! I nearly turned into a human icicle, lived on a steady diet of bannock, and played host to over 100 mosquitoes. It was like nature’s own endurance test, and I emerged victorious (and with a few extra bites for good measure)!
What would you do with $10,000?With $10,000, I’d tackle my student debt—finally giving that old nemesis a well-deserved goodbye kiss. Then, I’d splurge on an adventure van, because life’s too short not to have wheels ready for every spontaneous escapade. Imagine the road trips and epic views!
