LAURA PINKHAM

LAURA PINKHAM was the partner of former NH NFC board member Jonathan Zukowski. Jonathan was lost in a boating accident in spring 2022, and Laura stepped in to keep his legacy alive while helping to protect New Hampshire’s wild native fish. Laura grew up in North Woodstock, NH spending much of her time outdoors where she enjoyed hiking, mountain biking, and skiing. She studied biology at Plymouth State University, and has a special interest in ecology and conservation. Laura began fly fishing in 2009 when she started spending time with Jonathan. In 2019 she and Jonathan took over Mountain High Fly, a full-service fly shop in Lincoln, NH. After 13 years of learning as much as possible from Jonathan, she is now running the shop and eager to begin a new chapter with Jon’s work as an inspiration to continue to gain knowledge of wild native fish and how to advocate for their protection in NH and beyond.
