DEE FINKEL Dee Finkel has bummed around New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York trout streams in search of wild browns for the past 15 years. She recently moved to western Massachusetts and is currently tracing its blue lines on maps and tying enough streamers to decorate the Christmas tree at Lincoln Center, despite winter’s promise of midges and 7x tippet. She has contributed writing to Metro Magazine and worked in film for Deathwish Inc., an independent music label. She is currently working on transgender-related nonfiction. STEPHEN SAUTNER Stephen Sautner is the executive director for communications of the Wildlife Conservation Society. He contributed to The New York Times’ “Outdoors” column for more than a decade and is the author of three books. His latest, A Cast in the Woods, is about a fishing camp he owns in the Catskill Mountains. He has fished in more than a dozen countries from the Falkland Islands/Las Malvinas to the Republic of Congo. He once caught a 7-foot sailfish, but still prefers 7-inch brook trout. He also digs shad, smallmouth, big wild browns and long walks on the beach as long as false albacore are around. Dylan Tomine Dylan Tomine is a Patagonia fly fishing ambassador, writer, father, wild fish advocate and sink tip addict. He’s also the author of Closer to the Ground: A Family’s Year on the Water, in the Woods and at the Table and the upcoming collection of stories and essays, Headwaters: The Adventures, Obsession and Evolution of a Fly Fisherman, which will be published by Patagonia Books in April 2022. His work has appeared in The Flyfish Journal, The Drake, Fly Fisherman, Adventure Journal and other publications, and he was a producer of the film Artifishal. He lives on an island in Washington state’s Puget Sound with his two teenage kids and their furry four-legged sibling, Halo. Learn more about his work at www.dylantomine.com. ZACH WOHL Zack Wohl has traveled to more than 30 countries, living for nearly a decade in India and the United Kingdom. In India, he trekked through the Himalayas and visited more than half of the country’s states while working in international education and studying Hindi, Urdu and yoga. In the United Kingdom, he negotiated contracts and led strategy and technology projects for one of the world’s largest health-care companies. He also found time to bop around Europe, hunting for old copper plate etchings and packing his fly rod to fish for trout, grayling and pike. Now back in his native California, he writes about the outdoors, natural history and flyfishing. EMMA YARDLEY Emma Yardley grew up in Vermont, where she learned about patience from long winters and about delicacy from brook trout streams. She took those lessons with her to the American West and the Southern Hemisphere, splitting seasons between the States and Argentina. A former The Flyfish Journal intern, she has worked with inspiring individuals and companies such as Yeti and Patagonia to create art pieces that run the gamut from simple lines to large-scale murals. Currently based in Montana, Yardley works in the mental health field.
