- Profile
You will most often find Deirdre Green on the rivers in her home province of Nova Scotia. She lives, eats and breathes all things fly fishing. Deirdre first picked up a fly rod in 2015 at the encouragement of her Fiancé, Derek Whiteway. Most dates for these two included exploring remote waterways in search of trout and Atlantic Salmon. She traded in her high heels for waders early on and hasn’t looked back since.
Since 2015, Deirdre has built strong relationships within the angling community. She volunteers with local non-profits and is a proud member of several river associations. She actively encourages others, specifically youth and female would-be anglers, to give the sport a try and to be patient with themselves and the learning curve. Deirdre’s first Atlantic Salmon was showcased in the Atlantic Salmon Journal and her writing has been featured by sporting outfitters and blogs within North America. During the off-season, her obsession with fishing spills over into her other hobbies. Deirdre ties all of her own flies, paints and writes; drawing inspiration from the wealth of time she spends on the water. Her love for angling encompasses everything she does. She is passionate about educating anglers on the positive impacts of a catch and release fishery, the protection of our watersheds and the worthy adversaries within. It’s not just about the catching for Deirdre and she eagerly seeks out opportunities to share this lifestyle with others
