Shelley will share stories from her book about her solo journey through the seven Rocky Mountain states fly-fishing a river a week through snow, wind, rain and blistering heat. Her book, “52 Rivers: A Woman’s Fly-fishing Journey” chronicles her successes, failures and love of the sport and the outdoors.
Just about everyone has dreamt of taking a year off to fulfill a dream. Librarian Shelley Walchak lived her dream by giving up her job at the Colorado State Library to fly fish a river a week for a year. She bought and outfitted a camper, purchased camera equipment and a computer and hit the road. She decided to stay in the Rocky Mountain States – Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Her photographs and blog posts of her journey became the book 52 Rivers
Regina Musyl, our tier this month, is the Co-Director of the WDTU Fly Tying clinic. In her professional life, she is the Professional Services Director at Mortgage Cadence.
