Tyler Kushnir
From his earliest days of fishing in his grandpa's flooded basement, angling has been central to Tyler Kushnir’s life. Today he spends over ninety days on the water fishing and helping us test, refine and demonstrate CND tackle. Tyler is one of our original Pro Staff members and has been intimately involved in the development of many of our rods. When he isn’t knee-deep in the steelhead waters of Washington and British Columbia or guiding salmon anglers to their next trophy at Langara Lodge, you can find Tyler moderating the speypages.com discussion boards or disguised as a not so mild mannered high school Geography teacher.
Japan
Tak Shimosawa
Tak is an excellent spey angler from Japan and the creator of the very popular website Speypages.jp.  The diagrams and animations are very informative, definitely worth checking out.  He is one of the avid cherry salmon anglers who pursue the elusive 6th species of pacific salmon in their native waters of Japan.  He also travels to practice spey fishing in the great waters of the world.  His international sense of spey fishing is evident in this letter to Dana Sturn, founder of the Speypages international spey community.
