Paige Wallace--Vice President
Born and raised in Lebanon, Oregon Paige spent much of her childhood fishing local lakes with her grandfather.  She took up fly fishing after graduating from Linfield College because it looked graceful and challenging.  She is mostly self-taught, which is why "it's taken 15 years to stop terrifying the fish and actually begin catching them!"  Paige has been a Trout Unlimited Member for about a decade now.  She currently works as a producer for NewsChannel 8, but she has also held jobs with the Native Fish Society and the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association.  When she's  not on a river you'll most likely find me on a local dance floor practicing my Argentine Tango, Lindy Hop or Salsa.

Prefers to be incognito at this time (or, she's just waiting for a bigger fish!!
