Colorado, USA

I'm Riley Stone — Colorado native, fly rod fanatic, and believer that the best therapy is ankle-deep in a cold mountain stream. I cut my teeth drifting dries for cutthroat in the Rockies and tying flies at the kitchen table between snowstorms. Around here, you learn quick: layer up, pack light, and don't underestimate a brookie with attitude. I'm here to share the stoke, swap stories, and help more women feel like they belong on the river — because we do. And we've got damn good aim with a 5-weight.

About Me

Favorite Spot:

A secret stretch of the South Platte River near Deckers — steep hike in, worth every blister.

Lucky Gear:

My custom 9' 5wt with an elk antler reel seat — made by a friend, baptized by snowmelt.

First Fishing Memory:

Landing a rainbow trout the size of a hoagie roll while standing on a cooler in a drift boat, yelling, “IS THIS NORMAL?!”
