Gloria Goñi grew up between northern Spain and the western United States, fishing and hunting from an early age. She holds a B.S. in Biology-Mathematics, with research focused on biosecurity and invasive species in coldwater fisheries. Her work in conservation spans research, non-profits, citizen science programs, and editorial storytelling.

As a photographer, writer, and fly fishing guide, Gloria blends storytelling with advocacy for public lands and waterways. Though she has lived across Montana and even lived on the road full-time, she always finds her way back to Missoula and the Clark Fork watershed—her true home—where she explores and enjoys the region’s incredible landscapes alongside her two trusty pups.
