About the Author

Copi Vojta

Copi Vojta hails from the high-and-dry ponderosa pine forests of Northern Arizona via Eastern Oregon, where he learned to stare at water and attempt to catch fish. Leaving Arizona for the trout infested waters of Colorado provided ample opportunity to forego regular adult responsibilities and live among rivers and mountains. A photographer, writer and photo editor for The Flyfish Journal, Copi now resides in Bellingham, Washington where he is slightly more responsible and can be found chasing all sorts of beautiful things. You can find more of his work at www.cbvphotographics.com and www.illcentrifugal.com.
