Erica Nelson

Founding Guide

Erica (she/her) has over 10 years of experience guiding and instructing a variety of outdoor adventures. While she didn’t grow up fishing, Erica is a self-taught angler that relied on YouTube and online communities to help her learn while living in Wyoming. She moved to Crested Butte in 2019 then joined Willowfly Anglers after completing the Orvis-Endorsed guide program in 2021. Erica loves helping all anglers feel empowered, safe, and welcome. She is also an ambassador for Brown Folks Fishing, which cultivates community for people of color in fishing and its industry through a lens of equity, justice, and inclusion.

Erica is a founding guide at Wanderland Outdoors, and an important part of our leadership team.

The outdoors is for all.

Erica will be guiding all over Colorado.
