Spring is just around the corner, which means anglers across the Pacific Northwest will soon be taking to our lakes and rivers. But for some, fishing isn’t just relaxing — it’s competition.

Cleveland High School grad Maxine McCormick has been on the global fly fishing stage for years and is a world champ.

Not only did McCormick win four gold medals, including the overall title in the World Fly Fishing Championships in 2022, but she also won two gold medals in 2018 at 14, making her the youngest world-champion gold medalist in the sport’s history.
