For those of you who may not know, Doc Wally is a retired surgeon. I would like to say, he has not retired at all, but rather, has simply chosen a new location for his office, a new operating room. His hands may perform their magic with a different set of instruments, but those fortunate enough to make his acquaintance will know they have just received the best of care, from the best of doctors. His office is now the river. He has traded in his scrubs for waders, a fishing vest and polarized sun glasses. His instruments are now a fly rod, fishing line, hooks, split shots, indicators and flies, flies and more flies. And his trusty hemostats still get plenty of use. Like a surgeon, Doc Wally shares his gift selflessly. The knowledge of his craft is displayed with kindness, enthusiasm and patience. Not only does he offer expert guidance, instruction and great stories, his respect and love for nature, the river, and the beautiful, spirited steelhead are truly infectious. Not to mention, he packs a tasty lunch complete with Butterfingers. A day with Doc Wally is truly a healing experience, and a day you will never forget. Christina, Cleveland, OH.
