Ed Engle:  Ed Engle’s fly fishing articles have appeared regularly in newspapers and magazines for more than 30 years. In the 1970’s his articles on short line nymphing techniques were among the first to appear in national fly fishing magazines. Since that time he has taught thousands of fly fishers the subtle art of nymphing through his books and articles, on-the-water seminars, and at his popular nymphing class sponsored by the Fly Fishing Show.
Ed’s newest book, Trout Lessons (2010), considers what to do when your usual fly fishing solutions don’t work. His interest in tying and fishing small flies led to the publication of Tying Small Flies (2004) and Fishing Small Flies (2005). The two-volume set is credited with helping create the current surge of interest in pursuing trout with small flies. Ed’s dedication to fishing bamboo fly rods resulted in the publication of Splitting Cane (2002) which chronicled the life and craftsmanship of  sixteen working rod makers. His first book, Fly Fishing the Tailwaters (1991), was a groundbreaking explanation of how to fish the regulated rivers found below dams.
Ed is a regular contributor to American Angler, The Boulder Daily Camera and Gray’s Journal. In addition, he has written for Fly Fisherman, Fly Rod & Reel, Flyfishing & Tying Journal, Trout, Fly Tyer, Sports Afield, and Saltwater Fly Fishing. Ed’s current projects include work on a new book, coming up with new small fly patterns (he’s a Signature Fly Tier for Idylwilde Flies) guiding on Colorado’s South Platte River, and teaching at fly fishing seminars throughout he country.

Jay "Fishy" Fullum:  After working as a designer and graphic artist for over 30 years, Fishy retired in 1995 to pursue his passion for writing, tying flies and fly fishing. He still utilizes his art talent when illustrating his magazine articles or a new book. Fishy also established himself as an accomplished watercolorist shortly after retiring, selling many paintings that combine his art and fly tying talents. Fishy has been tying flies since the early fifties. During the past twenty years he has designed nearly a hundred and fifty productive, innovative patterns for everything from bluegills to bonefish. Many of these patterns are featured in his CREATIVE TYING column published in FLY TYER MAGAZINE. Other patterns can be found in Fishy's two fly tying books, FISHY'S FLIES and FISHY'S FAVORITES and A JAR FULL OF HOPPERS, a book of short stories on fly fishing and fly tying. Fishy is featured at fly tying/fly fishing events from Massachusetts to Florida, where he teaches and demonstrates the art of fly tying at the vise, through his powerpoint presentations and his new video FROM FISHY'S FLY BOX.

Aaron Jasper:  Aaron Jasper is a third grade teacher, owner of Fly Fishing Evolution guide service, published author, and the co-founder of www.troutpredator.com . He fishes over 200 days per year and his true passion in life is sharing all the information he gathers with the fly fishermen of the world. While Aaron has been fishing for nearly 30 years now, he is fairly new to the Public Fly Fishing eye He Also believes that our toolboxes of methods should be constantly growing and EVOLVING. Beyond this obvious fact, our sport is in a constant state of evolution, better equipment, better materials to use at the vise, even genetically engineered trout. How does this apply to Aaron’s beliefs? Even though the sport’s practices are subject to constant change, sometimes evolving dictates that you look back; back to methods long forgotten. So… Aaron’s view of evolution is this: the fly fisherman must constantly evolve to become better at their craft, and in order to evolve they must not only learn modern techniques but they must also look backwards through history and analyze all methods available to ensure their constant state of evolution. His guiding website is www.troutpredator.com. He also came out with his first DVD titled "European Nymphing: Techniques and Fly Tying." He is going to be doing a series of teaching DVDs that are going to cover nearly ever facet of fly fishing for trout.

Michael Mauri:  The fish management technician caught his first fish at age six in a small stream in Bavaria.
In 1983 - at age 12 - he decided to devote himself entirely to the royal discipline. Since that time, he has been fishing exclusively with flies. His early, influential sources of inspiration were, for example, Sepp Prager at a show in 1985 and later Lefty Kreh and Steve Rajeff.
Starting in 1998, Michael Mauri has been participating in international shows and conducting single- and doublehand workshops all over the globe. As a professional flyfisher he also guides all over in Europe, from Italy up to Norway and Greenland.
Motion sequences acquired from many years of martial arts training as well as his great desire to experience something new allowed him to create his own unique casting techniques, the EFCT (Effective Fly Casting Technique). The secret of his style is the natural movement, which makes it easy to learn – for everybody!
In search of new challenges, he continuously hones his own skills while at the same time coming up with new ideas for improved equipment.
But if he’s outside on the water and becomes ones with the nature, he is still that boy of six.

Bob Popovics:  Born and raised in New Jersey, Bob Popovics “Popfleyes” has been saltwater fly-fishing around the globe for over to 40 years.  Bob’s involvement in the promotion of saltwater fly-fishing run as deep as the concepts he has created at the vise. A member, former president and executive board member of the Saltwater Flyrodders of America, Bob helped pioneer modern day saltwater fly fishing in the northeast through his ground breaking fly tying concepts and teaching of the sport to anyone who was interested in learning. A true sportsman in every sense, Bob’s contribution to saltwater fly fishing continues to prosper today through his fly fishing, tying, and eye catching videos. 
In the 1992 Bob founded the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders in Seaside Park, NJ. And in 1998, Bob was inducted into the FRESHWATER FISHING HALL OF FAME where he sits amongst some of the greatest names in the sport of fishing. Most widely known for his innovative fly tying techniques and designs, Bob’s creations of “fleyes” have literally changed the direction of fly tying with unique and durable saltwater fly designs. The originator of epoxy and silicone flies, Bob’s realistic “baitfish like” designs have come to be widely known as Popfleyes. From his early introduction of the Surf Candy design in the mid 1970’s to such sport standards as the Hollow Fleye, Siliclone, Pop-lip, Ultra Shrimp, Bucktail Deceiver, Bob’s Banger, 3-D, Cotton Candy, and Shady Lady Squid. Bob now leads the way in fly tying with acrylics. Bob’s impact on fly tyers and fly fishers has been widespread throughout the globe. Lefty Kreh has called Bob “The most innovative fly tyer I have ever met!”
Currently, Bob sits on the advisory staff to many of the industry’s top manufacturers such as St Croix Rod, MAKO Fly Reels, and Renzetti. He is a contributing writer to Fly Fishing in Saltwaters Magazine, and his co-authored book, "POP FLEYES" with Ed Jaworowski, a staple read for anyone interested in saltwater fly fishing. To his additional credits, he has created and stars in two “POP FLEYES” videos from Reel Resources. He is a frequent seminar speaker at many of the sports national and regional consumer and industry venues. 
Today, Bob spends much of his time passionately capturing a video history of fly fishing in the northeast since 1984. As a surf fly fishing specialist with innovative approaches to the challenges and demands of using a fly rod in the ocean surf, Bob continues to share his knowledge with beginners and experts alike. He is referred to by many as one of the greatest ambassadors of our sport.

Steve holds the current National Single Hand fly distance records at 243 feet. Also, using only a 5/8oz plug, he set the Two Hand casting distance record with a shot of 367 feet. Steve and his brother Tim were winning teammates in the first running of the Outdoor Life Network Flyfishing Masters Championship (trout fishing).

“Tournament casting spans the universe of casting disciplines, from plug casting for distance and accuracy, to single and double-handed flycasting for distance as well accuracy. As Director of Engineering for G.Loomis rod manufacturing, Steve  uses his casting and fishing experience to hone rod performance characteristics like rod action, taper, weight, strength, balance and durability.  “When I set out to design a practical, high performance fishing rods, the tournament casting back round is definitely a big asset, along with my fishing and guiding experience.” With over 40 years of intensive fishing, 5 years fishing guiding in Alaska, 2 years in Montana – his experience is directly responsible for designing  performance breakthrough rods like new NRX series, also Cross Current GLX salt water fly rods, Stream Dance GLX trout fishing and Roaring River GLX Spey rods, plus a wide range of spinning and casting rods. Steve estimates he has developed over 2,500 rod models across all categories, during his 25 years as head of Engineering for G.Loomis.

Born and raised in San Francisco, a graduate of San Francisco State University, he has helped with numerous fly casting schools in the 1970’s with his mentor Mel Krieger. Steve visited Japan in the early 1970’s with Jim Green, master rod designer for Fenwick, (who Steve credits for teaching him to design tournament rods), also with Mel Krieger to share the how’s and why’s of fly casting. Since then he has been back to Japan more than 15 trips on his own.

Ben Turpin:  I’ve fly fished the Mid-Atlantic Region for over 20 years, spending thousands of hours on the water, teaching hundreds of people of all skill levels how to fly fish through both formal fly fishing schools and personal lessons.  It all started in 1996 when someone asked me to guide them on the Limestone Spring Creeks of Central, PA.  I had a blast and realized that I could earn money doing what I loved, teaching people how to fly fish.  In 2001 I became an Orvis Endorsed Guide.
My obsession naturally developed into graphite and bamboo rod building and my business, Ben Turpin Custom Rod Building and Guide Service, was born.  I’m an avid outdoorsman and enjoy hunting as well as year-round fishing in the Poconos, so my business expanded to include guided upland bird hunts for woodcock, pheasant and grouse with my Brittany’s on local hunting grounds and preserves.  I also offer Turkey hunts in Wayne County, PA.
Currently, I guide over 20 streams, rivers and lakes in PA and NJ and light tackle bass fishing on the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers.  When I’m not on the stream or in the field I can often be found tying and designing flies, writing articles for local magazines and stream reports for my website: www.BenTurpin.com, or giving lectures about local streams and fly fishing techniques at one of the many TU chapters or Sportsmen’s shows.  My goal is to help my clients succeed, creating enjoyable memories on the water and in the field.
