COFOUNDER - GUIDE RELIEF PROGRAM + OUTDOOR GUIDE ASSOCIATION
"A Montana native, KynsLee’s affection for the sport sparked in her youth, captivated by the gentle flow of her homewaters, the Missouri River.
This experience triggered an all-consuming desire to learn, progress, and share her passion with anyone willing to bend an ear.
Some years later, while starting at the University of Montana, she embraced the overwhelming urge to become a fly fishing guide.
Working with Blackfoot River Outfitter's for over a decade, KynsLee runs her spring/summer trout program on various systems surrounding her home, in Missoula, MT.
Now, she mainly shares her time between Missoula On The Fly and Blackfoot River Outfitters.
Through the autumn and winter months, she can be found guiding and fishing for steelhead in the Pacific Northwest.
An outspoken advocate for mobilizing female participation in the sport, KynsLee’s worked tirelessly to develop casting, rowing, and fishing programs for women in the Pacific Northwest.
With a background in conservation, she’s proudly partnered with organizations like American Rivers to protect and preserve river ecology and the health of her fisheries.
What else should we tell you about KynsLee Scott?

How about this…
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
She’s highly effective. Ultra-knowledgeable. Crazy fishy. Unbelievably fun to hang with."

RIVER Ramble - Guides edition podcast
|
Created to share support and spread awareness of the largest Wild and Scenic designation Montana has seen in over 45 years.
Under the banner of Montanans For Healthy Rivers, the Crown of the Continent Proposal (~200 miles) and the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act (385 miles) would protect over 500 miles of rivers and riparian ecosystems for our state. Each episode, I sit down with guides and outfitters from across the state as they represent these special areas and share why protection of them is so important.

Freddy Dodge's mine rescueIn May of 2021, my family and I appeared on Freddy Dodge's Mine Rescue to help support my dad's dream of responsibly mining our family's patented claim.
With such a limited time to showcase everything we filmed, I'd like to share some of the things that didn't make the cut but mean a lot to me: -I had the pleasure of introducing Freddy to fly fishing during a quick wade fishing session on my home river, the Missouri. -Even though the show highlights our reclamation plans, it did not feature the measures we are taking now to mitigate negative impacts caused from operating... I'm proud to say that we invested into meaningful carbon credits to offset our fossil fuel consumption, our water system is down to nearly zero net loss to reduce unwanted waste, and we are looking into solar panels as a possible power source. It was an honor to be a part of such an outstanding crew and show, thank you again Freddy and Juan. Our episode is available on Discovery+, season 2 episode 6. |
