Rosie Clifton
Kidpreneur and All Things Fishing Enthusiast
If you need a little sunshine in your day, all you need is our 9 yr old Rosie. She’s got the sunniest personality and the biggest heart. This definitely transfers to her fly tying and rod building, as she tends to lean towards bright, cheerful colors. This also becomes apparent the moment you meet her. She’s your instant best friend no matter who you are, which has been very useful to her in learning fishing and fly tying from so many amazing people, of all ages, in our community - both near and far. When it’s not fishing season, she enjoys tennis, soccer, and hiking with her little brother/shadow, Rex, and friends. But almost always you can find her curled up with a good book. It was her idea to start Rosie’s Bait and Tackle 2 yrs ago, and we can’t wait to see her take it all the way to her own store someday.
