About the Authors
Yvon Chouinard is the founder of Patagonia and a lifelong conservationist. He is a noted fly fisher and was named Angler of the Year by Fly Rod & Reel in 2009. He cofounded, with Craig Mathews, 1% for the Planet, a group of businesses giving back to the environment. He lives in Ventura, California. Craig Mathews is a Montana-based author and conservationist and cofounder, with Yvon Chouinard, of 1% for the Planet. He and his wife, Jackie, founded Blue Ribbon Flies, a fly shop and outfitter in West Yellowstone, Montana. Craig has authored and co-authored nine books on fly fishing in the western United States and Yellowstone National Park. He was chosen by Fly Rod & Reel as Angler of the Year in 2005. He and Jackie live in the Madison River Valley of Montana. Mauro Mazzo is a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Master, a Two-Hand Casting Instructor, and he writes and photographs on a regular basis for European fly-fishing magazines. He has fished around the globe from the Italian Alps to Himachal Pradesh and from Cuba to the Kola Peninsula. He lives in Milan, Italy.
From Yvon Chouinard
"Pheasant tail feathers can be used to tie nymphs, dry flies, emergers, and beetles that are equally as or even more effective than the thousands of flies in the fly shop."
From Craig Mathews
"I already knew the material I would use to imitate those partially emerged and impaired dun bodies: male ring-necked pheasant center tail fibers. These fibers imitate the natural brown and reddish color of the most important species of mayfly nymphs."
From Mauro Mazzo
"Limiting your options forces creativity and learning. Do it right and you can achieve spectacular results. Discovery and practice, then mastery and perfection, all through simplification. Isn't that the goal of practicing any craft?"
