DR. GARY BORGER has been a fly fisher since 1955, and since 1972 has taught classes and lectured internationally on all aspects of fly fishing for trout and salmon. A freelance writer and photographer and an active member of the Outdoor Writer's Association of America, Gary is also Midwest Field Editor for Fly Fisherman magazine, Editor at Large for the Virtual Fly Shop, and Fly Fishing Columnist for North American Fisherman. He has written five best-selling books on fly fishing: Nymphing, Naturals, the Borger Color System, Designing Trout Flies, and Presentation.

JASON BORGER began fly fishing at the age of two. When Jason was ten, he began professional production fly tying. His first nationally-published article on fly tying appeared when he was thirteen (in Fly Tyer magazine). At age sixteen, Jason began working with his father, Gary, on the Skills of Fly Fishing video series. His screen work has since encompassed subject matter ranging from conservation to casting.
