Christa Clasgens

Hello! My name is Christa Clasgens and I am the owner and operator behind Silver Hen Fly Co. Originally from Virginia, I have spent most of my life in West Virginia and Pennsylvania where I found my passion for fly fishing and retracing my family roots. When I discovered my love for fly fishing it wasn't long until I wanted to share it with anyone who was willing to give it a try. Today, I guide year round for trout, steelhead, and small mouth and absolutely love introducing folks from all over the wonders of both the Youghiogheny River and the tributaries of Lake Erie.

Emma is an Ohio native and seriously knows her ways around her home waters. She started her journey using conventional gear and once she gave fly fishing a try, she discovered a solid knack for it. Since then, Emma has been instrumental in our instructional clinics, and getting new folks on the water to hook their first fish on the fly. Aside from her fishiness-  Emma has an incredible talent for tying flies. She is consistently trying new patters on the vise and putting them to the test on the water.

 Sarah Lilly is a  lover of all things Appalachian and a proud West Virginia native. She  was first introduced to fly fishing at age eighteen and fell forever in  love with the sport. Not only does Sarah know her way around some great Steelhead tributaries, but she champions the wilderness in WV for some of the most pristine native Brook Trout, and wild Brown Trout waters. In addition to guiding for Silver Hen Co, she  spends her summers outside of Jackson, WY heading the fly fishing  department at CM Ranch and taking clients into the rocky mountain  wilderness for Cutthroat, Brown, and Rainbow Trout
