Welcome to Loving Outdoor Life!

Leigh Johnson

I’m Leigh Johnson, a passionate fly fisher and advocate for women in the sport. My journey with fly fishing began in my 30s, evolving from a casual hobby into a vital part of my life. I’m also the coordinator of Women on The Fly NZ, a community dedicated to empowering women in the world of freshwater angling.

Loving Outdoor Life is my platform to share insights, tips, and stories about fly fishing, outdoor adventures, and the natural beauty of New Zealand. It’s a resource for everyone who feels the call of the serene outdoors and the enriching experience of fishing.

Join me on this journey of discovery and empowerment in the world of fly fishing. Whether you’re here to learn new techniques, share your experiences, or simply enjoy the stories, this community welcomes you.

Looking forward to casting lines and sharing stories with you!
