Riversmith would like to welcome Austin Campbell as our newest Ambassador! Austin will be representing Riversmith in Colorado and sharing his fishing experience with our customers and followers.
ABOUT AUSTIN CAMPBELL
Fishing has been a passion for Austin’s whole life, while learning to fish for warm water species in Atchison, Kansas on his family farm, to fly fishing freestone and tailwaters of Colorado. Austin truly found the love for the sport in High School while fly fishing rivers along the front range of Colorado and took his passion to the east coast, while attending college at Penn State University.
During his time at Penn State, Austin was part of the track and field team as a high jumper, while still fly fishing at least three to four times a week, to learn tactics from fly fishing legends like George Daniel and Joe Humphreys.
Currently, Austin is a Professional Fly Fishing guide at Front Range Anglers located in Boulder, Colorado, guiding on rivers in the state. Austin has also started a non-profit called Community Fly Fishing with others in the Denver area.
"The goal is creating opportunities for individuals who do not have equal access to the sport and the outdoors," said Campbell. "Community Fly Fishing provides free 101 sessions, guided outings, river conservation, and guide courses, taught by those who equally reflect Denver community’s demographic. The outdoors is for all."
As a Riversmith Ambassador, Austin will also be working closely with our Design Team with product feedback and helping Riversmith develop new products that help our customers protect what’s most important: your gear, time, and your experience on the water.
