Emily Roley

Emily started fly fishing at the tender age of 13. Her passion for the sport only grew in intensity as she grew into an adult and finally, at 35 years old, she decided to turn the passion into a profession. She moved to Taos, New Mexico, where she became a guide and the shop manager for the Taos Fly Shop.
