AMANDA HOFFNER

AMANDA HOFFNER is a Pennsylvania native who moved to the southeastern United States in July of 2022. She is employed as an Intensive Care Unit and Catheterization Laboratory registered nurse. Amanda has a passion for Tenkara fishing, and can be found in the mountains exploring wild native trout streams, or at her fly tying vise creating flies for her next adventure. Her passion for native trout, and native fish in general, and their environments began when she started to drift away from the Poconos region of Pennsylvania and her hometown in the mid 2000s. Exploring different parts of the United States has allowed Amanda to appreciate the nation’s forests, waterways, and wild native fish, and sparked an interest in wanting to help protect and preserve them. After fishing around the northeastern United States for many years, she looks forward to experiencing the wild native fish and aquatic habitats of the southeast, especially the rare endemic Bartram’s bass.
