  Topher Browne

  At 15, Topher traded his coonskin cap and the life of a suburban frontiersman for an all-out obsession with fly fishing. For the last 20 years, he has focused his energies on the Atlantic salmon. When he’s not fishing for them, he writes at length about his favorite fish. Many anglers consider his recent book, Atlantic Salmon Magic, a modern classic.

  Paul Bruun

  Since preparing his first ever resume to become Patagonia's original fly fishing consultant, Paul has worked to introduce and expand the all-weather clothing comfort concept for anglers. Through guiding and embracing torturous weather, his last 40 plus years have included thousands of hours outdoors and on the water, in temperatures ranging from -12 to 120F. His loves seeing a product with normal guy ("XXL") sizing sneak into the Patagonia line.

  Bryan Carter

  Having worn out two skiffs (and countless outboards) over thousands of hours on the Louisiana flats, Bryan recently came to the conclusion that he might not ever actually “grow up.” As a fulltime Mississippi Delta guide, the impact of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill left him more committed than ever to protecting the fragile paradise he calls home.

  Preaching the gospel of Great Lakes steelhead through guiding, seminars, television and publishing, Jeff has been introducing anglers to Lake Erie’s “Steelhead Alley” for decades.

  A Boston-based fly tier, photographer and writer, Dave Skok is the only fly fisherman to ever win the Grand Prize in the 60-year history of the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby.

  Dylan Tomine

  After five summers of guiding in Bristol Bay, Dylan returned home to the Pacific Northwest and a year-round pursuit of steelhead, which has taken him from Argentina to southeast Alaska. But after watching wild steelhead decline throughout their range and with two small children to consider, he’s currently working to direct more of his obsession toward writing and speaking about fish conservation.

  April Vokey

  Though she wasn’t born into a fishing family, April somehow entered this world genetically programmed to fish. She’s been on the water ever since. Today, when she’s not guiding the fabled rivers of British Columbia, teaching fly tying and casting, writing about fishing and appearing in fishing films, April fights to protect wild fish. On her days off, she goes fishing.
