Bob’s excellent artwork (which graces the cover of Volume One), and more, can be found at www.bobwhitestudio.com.

Davin Ebanks is a marginally self-employed bonefish guide who hails from the isolated coral rock called Grand Cayman Island.

He occasionally writes about it on his blog, www.flatswalker.com, and can also be found at http://www.fish-bones.com/

Bjorn Stromsness is from the mountains of Northern California where he learned to fish for trout and steelhead. Bjorn has been fishing since he was four and fly fishing for the past 15 years, but it wasn’t until just a few years ago on a family trip to Hawaii that he saw his first bonefish. After seeing a real monster bonefish up close (but not on the line), he became a little bit obsessed. Bjorn now writes the Bonefish on the Brain blog, updated daily, as a way to deal with his addiction: bonefishonthebrain.com

Bruce Smithhammer is the Outfitting Manager for High Country Flies in Jackson, Wy.
