Some know her as “Bad Ash”, but to us she’s one of the Sportsmen’s Show team.  Ashley exploded onto the scene about 15 years ago when word of her talents as a Quinault River Guide spread quickly beyond the Olympic Peninsula.  You don’t need many 20 pound steelhead to your credit to get the attention of NW salmon and steelhead anglers. Guiding on the Quinault you get a front row seat to trophy salmon and steelhead regularly.  Since then, Ashley’s been on the move fishing a variety of waters and fish species as one the country’s more prominent and visible female anglers but also as a fishing advocate.

You’ll find Ashley in the Steelhead River this year.She’s back! Ashley’s been one of our top speakers in the Steelhead River in previous years and for the 2025 show she covers bobber and jig fishing for steelhead.  This is one of Ashley’s many strong suits and you can expect her to share all the details you need including riggings, how-to fish this combination and where to fish it to find success.  Ashley’s in the Steelhead River on Wednesday at 2:00PM and Sunday at 1:00PM.
