Flip Pallot

Flip was born and raised in South Florida. An avid outdoorsman, Flip
began his career as a banker for “way to long,” he says. After finding the
courage to leave the corporate world, Flip began his second career as a
fishing and hunting guide. After twelve years, Flip moved to television
producing and sharing his life’s fishing travels for us to enjoy. He is best

known for Walker’s Cay Chronicles, which aired for sixteen seasons on
ESPN, and he’s a founder of Hell’s Bay Boatworks. His keen sense for
storytelling and bringing to life the best part of fishing adventures has
continued with teaching instructional classes and writing books on fly
fishing. Flip currently lives in Mims, Florida, and films shows for Ford’s
Fishing Frontiers on the Outdoor Channel.

Peter Corbin
Peter Corbin is primarily known for painting fly-fishing and upland hunting
scenes—subjects that mirror his passions. He gives life to sporting
landscapes, merging natural wonders and the drama of memorable

moments in sporting life, rendered in pleasing color palettes. His vivid
sporting-art scenes convey a sense of place, mood, and atmosphere in
the light reflected off the water or the transmitted light through the clouds
or trees, revealing influences of the Hudson River School. His greatest
influences are A. B. Frost, Ogden Pleissner, and Winslow Homer. He
grew up in a home filled with fly rods, shotguns, Labrador retrievers, and

sporting art. Inspired by his experiences as a lifelong angler and hunter,
he has traveled from the American West, British Columbia, South
America, Europe, New Zealand, Africa, and the tropics recording portrait
commissions for his clients’ love of the outdoors and the places they
cherish. He lives in upstate New York.

Terry Gibson

Terry Gibson, of Jensen Beach, Florida, has fished in southeastern
waters since the late 1970s, and has dived in and surfed on them for
almost as long. As a journalist, Gibson has reported on fishery and
coastal-management issues in most coastal US states and more than
twenty countries. Terry also served in editorial positions at Saltwater Fly

Fishing magazine, Florida Sportsman, and as fishing editor for Outdoor
Life. In 2006, the Florida Wildlife Federation awarded him the Burk “Biff”
