Christina Medved is Director of Community Outreach at Roaring Fork Conservancy. She has waded into many rivers across the U.S., Peru and Costa Rica, in search of fish food called macroinvertebrates. In the last 25 years, Christina has taught thousands of people how to identify these aquatic organisms (fish food!). Christina was born and raised in Cleveland and did a lot of spin casting with her family on the many lakes and ponds that make up Northeast Ohio. (To this day she still believes her big brother is the best angler she knows!) She was used to catching bluegill and bass, but it was when she moved to Colorado that she started putting her aquatic insect knowledge to the test with fly fishing our world-class rivers. Her favorite fly to tie and fish with are her very own Wooly Buggers. As a certified teacher-trainer of the National Fishing in Schools Program, Christina has taught hundreds of youth and adults how to fly fish through RFC's fly fishing camps and clinics over the last 10 years.

Liz Gustafson is a doctor of physical therapy and practices at Valley View Hospital. She grew up in Snowmass Village and started exploring our local waters at an early age. Her dad introduced her to fly fishing at 13. Throughout her academic pursuits she fished in several western states as well as Texas and North Carolina. She is also Secretary of The Roaring Fork Valley Fly Fishing Club.
