Our Team - The Anglher Ambassadors
Kelli Jackson
Founder & Owner Anglher
As a native of Colorado Kelli grew up an outdoor girl. Being the youngest and only girl of five kids, she enjoyed playing in the dirt and running around with the boys. Kelli began fly fishing in Gunnison, Colorado while pursing her degree at Western State Colorado University. Post college she returned to her hometown Eagle, CO and worked in a fly shop and bartended.
Noticing a lack of women's fly fishing apparel and classes geared towards women interested in the sport, Kelli created Anglher. A brand for women by women. Kelli also began hosting all inclusive women only destination trips (2008) and launched her kids line, Lil Buggers (after having twins in 2015), then a daughter in 2019.
When this anglher isn’t out on the water she enjoys hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and traveling with her husband, twin boys and daughter.
Her next bucket list fishing experiences are Patagonia and Cuba.
Non profits she currently works with are: Girls on the Fly (Anglher non profit), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Casting for Recovery and The Mayfly Project.
Erin Gallimore
Anglher Ambassador Since 2016
Meet Erin. She first touched a fly rod in the101 class in September 2016. She since then has taken the 201, gone on two hosted trips and fished with Anglher a handful of times. It thrills us beyond our highest of rights to watch this woman rigging her own rod, hook setting and netting her own fish (and taking a selfie) confidently on the water. "Helping others to shine brighter won’t make your light any less bright.”
Things she does for fun: sip coffee and read on her deck, fish, hike, spend time with her family.
Place she wants to visit: complete her list of visiting at least 6 of the 7 continents (she is currently at 4).
Organization: National Fishing in Schools Program. She would love to bring the love of fishing and conservation to children at any age.
Zoe Ward
Anglher Ambassador Since 2016
After Zoe stocked up on plenty of Anglher apparel, about six years ago, she figured it was probably time to learn how to fly fish. She took an Anglher casting clinic to give it a try and then spent a day on the water and after that, she was hooked on the sport.
For Zoe, fly fishing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with her friends and family. She believes that fly fishing encourages you to constantly learn more and she is grateful to Anglher for getting her into the sport and for continuing to empower women on the water.
In addition to fly fishing, Zoe loves to ski, hike, explore the outdoors with her husband and watch movies.
The next place on Zoe's travel dream list would either be Italy or Iceland.
As a leukemia survivor, Zoe's charity of choice is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
