Greetings, I’m Mark Riley, President of Boulder Flycasters. I grew up fishing with a Zebco rod and reel on the lakes of Oklahoma. I spent most of my career in New England (Connecticut and Boston) working in software development management. I’ve been flyfishing for about 12 years, learning on the streams of New England. I retired early from the corporate world and my wife, Candice and I moved to Boulder in 2004.
I’ve been on the Board of BFC for several years with 4 years as Treasurer and now as President.
My favorite fishing trip to date was not really a fishing trip at all trip at all — casting to Tigerfish on the Zambezi River in Zambia while viewing elephants, crocs, hippos, storks, cranes, etc was the experience of a lifetime. Around the Rockies, I love the Bighorn River and near home, I enjoy fishing Rocky Mountain National Park.
Besides fishing, I enjoy doing charitable work, skiing, reading, hiking, bicycling and I travel frequently.
