Meet Your Guide!
My name is Kaitlyn Casazza. I was born and raised in Columbia Falls, Montana. From my freshman year in High School up until my sophomore year in College, I spent my summers working on my dad’s concrete construction crew. Here I spent my days packing form panels, setting walls, pouring foundations among many other physical tasks. After High School, I attended Montana Technological University while also being on a volleyball scholarship. After two years of college and playing volleyball I was invited to help on a Wilderness Fly Fishing Trip with the Montana Wilderness Lodge and Outfitting. After that one week of helping out, I was asked to stay and join the crew. My roles in this job have ranged from gear boater and camp cook to packing mules and breaking horses. Four years later I am now an operations manager at this lodge and my boyfriend Strite and I are partners in this amazing company.
