Kubie Brown has been a professional trout fishing guide for more than a decade. A former Orvis fly fishing instructor and current freelance writer, blogger, and all-around trout bum, Kubie has pursued and guided for trout across the United States, Canada, and Patagonia. When he’s not guiding or fishing, he spends his time driving around (and often living in) a beat-up Toyota Tundra between fishing, hunting, and camping expeditions. Kubie currently lives in southwest Montana. When he’s not out in the field doing what he loves, he spends most of his free time tying flies, playing rugby, and sampling different varieties of whiskey. Kubie attended Southern Vermont College where he played rugby and studied literature before receiving his B.A in creative writing.
