Amy Hazel is someone you won't forget. Guide, instructor, fly shop owner and an all-round force to be reckoned with, she's the sort of woman who works hard and fishes even harder. Amy is a committed business owner, a woman who fights for her beliefs, and a comedian in her own right. I've loved her since the very first day we met seven years ago at a trade show in California.  I met with Amy in Maupin, Oregon to hear more about where she came from and where's she’s planning on going.
