"Emily Johnson, and her husband Chris, own Living Waters Fly Fishing, a fly shop and guide service based in Round Rock, Texas. Fly fishing is a family affair in the Johnson household and Emily can often be found at the fly shop or on the water with her daughter Lydia and son David. Emily grew up on the South Fork of the San Gabriel River, one of the Texas Hill Country's premiere fly fisheries. Emily took her first fly casting lesson as a teenager and immediately fell in love with the sport of fly fishing. She was especially drawn to the fact that the pursuit of fly fishing is a lifetime endeavor. Emily has fished in several different countries and multiple states in pursuit of a wide array of gamefish.
