About Ashley: Ashley Rae is a multi-species angler residing in Ottawa, and is originally from the Bay of Quinte area. Over the years, she turned her passion for fishing into a full-time career through writing for various publications and websites, creating social media content and YouTube videos, speaking at events and tradeshows, working with a variety of sponsors, and more. Ashley gets out on the water by boat, kayak, and shore fishing, and also enjoys ice fishing through the winter months. Ashley’s passion for tournaments began through joining a local Bassmaster club many years ago out of Belleville.
