Lefty Ray Chapa You've got to like a guy whose motto is "No water is too far, too shallow or too hot." And we think you'll like him even more after this expert fishing guide and kayaker shows you the proper way to chase redfish with a kayak. He knows all the ins and outs...launch sites, fly selection, kayak tactics...everything you need for a Texas slam!

Banning Collins Trained to cast by Larry Sunderland and Joe Robinson, Banning can still tell you about his first fish on fly on the Blanco River. His motto now is "Go Big Or Go Home." That's a good clue on how and why he fishes at Summit Station Lodge in Glacier Park, MT(he manages the lodge, too) and the saltwater flats of Texas (he lives here when he's not there). Guiding, traveling, outfitting...these things get him out of bed every day and he loves it!

Mike Cook Captain Mike gave up the corporate life to fish. And fish he does specializing in sight casting for those luscious reds and speckled trout in Rockport's grass flats and back bay lakes. Another specialty is
introducing novice fly fishers and sight casters to the sport...something this patient man really loves to do. Yes, he's a native Texan but we love him anyway.

Bill Gammel Bill Gammel has been teaching fly casting for almost twenty years...even has his own school in Baytown. He not only co-authored The Essentials of Fly Casting but now has produced a new how-to
video titled Teaching Yourself to Fly Cast: Learning the Essentials. His seminar explains just how easy it is.

Scott Graham There have only been two tarpon over two hundred pounds caught on a fly rod and Captain Scott's responsible for one of them. Landed in Texas, too! Scott's boat has hooked more tarpon than any guide boat in Texas...well over 200 in the last three seasons alone. Scott says, "you might be next." From trout to tarpon, from redfish to jacks, Scott's seminars are full of what you want to know.

Kevin Hutchinson You might say Kevin is "wrapped up" in his work.
He owns Hill Country Flyfishers, a guiding,
commercial fly tying and instructional company based right here in Austin. He's a professional and loves teaching fly fishing and fly tying. Numerous awards have come his way including a position with the national 4-H Sportfish staff and as Master Angler instructor for Texas Parks & Wildlife. He's good...give a listen.

Everett Johnson Which came first...fishing, hunting or writing about it? This man does it all. You can hook up with him for guided waterfowl and fishing trips or read his Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine Gulf Coast Connections. One way or another, Everett's bound to hold your interest.

Joey Lin Joey's bi-coastal...spending half a year guiding in Argentina and the other half guiding in Austin. His Far Out Fishing Trips company can have you fly fishing and wingshooting in such exotic places as Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Bahamas and Texas. You'll be astonished at the slide show he presents.

Sally Moffett Sally is the very first professional guide to specialize in kayak fishing on the Texas coast. And she's good! To her credit she's also the first female saltwater fly fishing guide in Texas. Her expertise at reading the water and finding fish under almost any condition is remarkable." She's friendly, smart and loves to fish. Warning: her enthusiasm is highly contagious.

Dave Murray Lefty Kreh says, " Dave is one of the best casting instructors I know." Beginner or expert, you can catch him on the casting pond for easy ways to solve casting problems. Then catch his followup seminar at the TempleFork Theater for the details of how fly fishing works. Dave makes knowing why turn into knowing how.

Mike Richardson An avid outdoorsman, Mike fishes Alaska's Kenai
Peninsula all summer for salmon and trout. He is a graduate of the Kenai Fishing Academy and is well versed on Alaska's salmon, the species, their life cycles and the techniques used to fish for them. If you have the interest, ask him about his other love...the Iditarod sled dog race.
