Kat Cruickshank.

Member of FF@ since Feb. 22, 1997.

Lived in Toronto, Ontario at time of joining. Now resides in Port Alberni, BC (Vancouver Island) and has worked for the last several years as a government-contracted observer on commercial fishing vessels.

Favourite summation of fishing ethos: "I just like to look at fish. If I have to catch them to look at 'em, well i guess i'll catch'em" -- Norman T. White. But also likes to cook, eat, draw, paint, and make pets out of fish.

Attended several NEC and Lake Placid Claves from 1997 - 2000; also attended the last (?) Damn Yankee Clave in 1998 (?), Big Creek Clave (1999) Hosted Ice Fishing Flyswap (1998?)and "Anything but the Usual Swap" (2001) swap site (warning: may contain invalid mailto: links) Participant in three Illustrated Pattern Swaps; designed cover for 4th (?) (i have to go thru my archives)

A founding member of The Coven (FF@ Legends page)

Somewhat well known for her paintings and drawings of fish, several of which are owned by FF@ members.
