Born and raised in BC, Bill has been fishing and hunting since he could walk; maybe longer but he can’t remember that far back. He has fished and hunted throughout British Columbia. Since moving to southern Vancouver Island in 1982, Bill has branched out into saltwater fly-fishing as well. Estuary salmon, both pink and coho have become a passion for his fly-fishing. Bill is a well-known fly-fishing instructor, firearms instructor and outdoor writer, having instructed and written for numerous fishing and outdoor magazines both in Canada and the US since 1988.

Growing up on a farm, Emily Lamb had a contagious passion for the outdoors at a young age. As time progressed, this began to bloom into obtaining quality food via hunting, fishing and foraging, as well as wildlife management through professional trapping and environmental work. As Emily learned more, she became enthusiastic about introducing potential outdoorsmen to the lifestyle and teaching basic, obtainable skills to anyone with interest. Today, Emily teaches outdoor skills via freelance writing and her outdoor education company Canis Outdoors, as well as provides professional wildlife management as the owner of Canis Environmental Solutions. In her free time, she travels to hunt and fish, or cooks delicious ethically obtained food for as many friends as possible on her hobby farm in western AB.
