OUR SHOW HEADLINERS
Mike Lawson (left), is founder and manager of the Henry’s Fork Anglers fly shop in Last Chance, Idaho. He is the author of Fly Fishing the Henry’s Fork (co-authored with Gary LaFontaine) and Spring Creeks, a comprehensive work on fishing spring creeks and tailwaters. He is contributing editor for Fly Fisherman Magazine, and has written many magazine articles for Fly Fisherman, Fly Fishing for Trout, The Fly Fisher, Trout magazine and the American Angler.
Beyond his native West, Lawson has traveled the world in his pursuit of fly fishing. Mike is featured in instructional fly fishing videos including: Tying Western Dry Flies with Jack Dennis; Tying and Fishing Caddisflies with Gary LaFontaine and Jack Dennis; Fishing the Madison River with Kelly Galloup; Tying Flies for Spring Creeks and Tailwaters; Fishing the Golden Ring by Gordon Eastman; and his latest video, Fly Fishing the Henry’s Fork.
James Prosek, artist, writer, adventurer and activist, is our second headliner. James Prosek is described by The New York Times as “the Audubon of the fishing world.” He was 19 when he published his first book, Trout, An Illustrated History, 1999, which featured his award-winning watercolor paintings of trout. His watercolors of fish and fishing have been widely exhibited. In 2003, Prosek won a Peabody Award for The Compleat Angler, his documentary about traveling through England in the footsteps of Izaak Walton. He co-founded a conservation initiative called World Trout in 2004 with Patagonia’s Yvon Chouinard, which raises money for coldwater habitat conservation through the sale of T-shirts with his trout paintings.
Prosek's other books include Joe and Me: An Education in Fishing and Friendship, 1997; A Connecticut Yankee Follows in the Footsteps of Walton: The Compleat Angler, 1999; Early Love and Brook Trout, 2000; Fly-Fishing the 41st From Connecticut to Mongolia and Home Again: A Fisherman’s Odyssey, 2003; Trout of the World, 2003; and children's books A Good Day’s Fishing, 2004; The Day My Mother Left, 2007; and his latest, Bird, Butterfly, Eel, 2009, an amazing children’s book about fascinating migration journeys of birds, insects, and fish.
