Celebrity Experts & Professional Guides Atlanta, Georgia

Jason Balogh Operating Fish the Fly Travel in Jackson Hole, keeps JB busy but not so busy that he can't guidethe storied rivers of Wyoming. And when it's too cold to fish there, he's scouting for bonefish and permit on the flats of the Carribbean in Honduras. Noting Jason's ease with traveling and fishing both climes can help make you a better fisherman.

James Buice James loves dry fly fishing and has close to ten years of guiding experience on the Toccoa and Hiwassee rivers. He's a freelance writer, too, with a new book on fly fishing in the Southeast coming out this year. The Fish Hawk in Atlanta puts him to work running its Adventure Travel Department and he sure does know a lot about where to go and when.

David Cannon "Seeing's everything" so keep an eye out this Spring...Dave's new book, Fly Fishing Georgia: A No Nonsense Guide to Top Waters, is due to hit the stands! But he's not here to tell you about that. He's here to help you take better pictures. Photography is his passion and joy rating right up there with fishing. Combine the two and you get this seminar. You'll walk out knowing more than when you walked in.

Theo Copeland Theo Copeland is a professional fly fishing guide specializing in guiding anglers on the streams of northeastern Tennessee. Many happy customers can attest to his skill in finding trout and smallmouth bass. He started the first drift boat guide service in his part of the country and, in doing so, made the area a destination fly fishing spot.

Henry Cowen Catching landlocked stripers is just one of the
many things Henry does best. He's also an
accomplished fly tyer (Umpqua Feather Merchants and Orvis carry his creations). If he looks familiar it's because his work is often featured in fishing magazines along with tying how-to's.

Kent Edmonds Georgia has great warm water species from bluegill to stripers to carp to bass. Match that fact to Kent Edmonds' expertise in how and where to find these lovelies and you've got the ingredients
for a seminar chock-full of tips and techniques to catch fish all year long. He's nice enough to share some cool locations too.

Drew Gregory Drew (aka BasserDrew) is an expert on bass...shoal, smallmouth, largemouth...you name it, he's fished for it. He'll take on any river, any challenge, anywhere as long as it's related to
catching bass. Drew's caught over one hundred citation-size river bass while logging a multitude of river trips. If you want to catch bass catch his seminar first.

Jimmy Harris In the late 60's Jimmy began fishing the small streams of north Georgia. He's now in his fourth decade of doing same and shows no sign of letting up.

Mack Martin Mack learned to fly cast at the age of nine using a custom bamboo fly rod (his uncle gave it to him). The mailman (a fly casting champion in the 50's) taught him how. He's been casting ever since and his luck still hasn't run out. A big fan of
fishing Alaska's and Canada's fertile waters,
among others, he's happy to share his experiences fishing in the Arctic.
