"Women in the Stream" TV Pilot Crew »

Our newest vehicle for “Women in the Stream” is our half hour television production.
A unique concept in outdoors and fishing television programming. The goal of the show is to introduce dynamic women of all ages, who are avid fly-fishers, explore their interesting lives, both professional and personal, and how fly fishing impacts them in positive ways. We will engage our viewers with great stories and and take them along to experience incredible outdoor fly fishing adventures on our guest's favorite water around the world.

By sharing the life stories of our guests, “Women in the Stream” will develop a personal connection to our viewers that will inspire and empower. Our viewers both female and male will understand the beauty, artistry, and excitement of fly fishing.

Hosted by writer and fly fishing educator Sally I Stoner and Deb J Cox, illustrator and fly fishing educator, both bring years of fly fishing knowledge and teaching experience to the program. Each show will also cover technical fishing information for anglers of all skill levels, such as equipment, fly tying, reading streams, fish species, casting mechanics, food sources, catch and release.

Sally I. Stoner - Host Growing up in Los Angeles, Sally's heart was always on the water, either the Pacific Ocean or the mountains streams of the Sierra Nevada where she fished with her family. A vagabond for much of her twenties, Stoner always carried her tackle and tried her luck wherever there was water. Finding a home on the central coast of California and a steady job with the utility company, Sally learned to fly fish and used every free day to pursue the sport. In 1995, she left her corporate job to write and fly fish. Her work has appeared in several fly fishing publications and her first book, “Shared Treasures” was published in 2000. Stoner is a FFF Certified Casting Instructor, and teaches for Becoming and Outdoors-Woman, Women in the Outdoors, and private clients. Sally is working on her second book.

Kim Malphrus - Executive Producer Kim's roots run deep in South Carolina. Growing up on the coast she feels at home on the water. After finishing her degree at Newberry College she realized her own acumen for business. From her first venture as a convenience store owner to her present day real estate and development operations, Malphrus brings a fervor to her work as strong as her passion for fly fishing. The warm waters of the Bahamas and casting a fly to bone fish led Kim to the cold waters of western rivers and the magic of trout fishing. Her other hobbies include photography, hiking, and skiing. Kim is the Executive Producer of the television show, Women in the Stream.

Julia L. Horowitz - Producer Julia grew up in a New York City suburb with a pond in her backyard. Her mother taught Julia and her two brothers to fish and a love for nature. Horowitz finished her textile Design degree at Syracuse University and enjoyed success in the field of design at several global corporations including: Vera; MasterCard International; Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Calvin Klein, and Lifetime television. She has struck out on her own with The Blue Pig, her ice cream store in Croton-on-Hudson, creating home-made ice cream delights near her local trout stream. Julia has been fly fishing for over six years and loves to teach the sport especially to children. She has studied with Joan Wulff and Bill Logan. Julia is the producer of the television show, Women in the Stream.

Deb J. Cox - Host Deb grew up in the Salinas Valley of California taking weekly trips to a nearby lake with her family. She started her own Residential Design and Drafting business in 1985, and returned to school to study history. She earned a Masters degree from the University of California Santa Barbara while operating her business. From her first evening hatch on Hat Creek almost 20 years ago, Deb has been an avid fly fisher. She teaches "Becoming an Outsdoor Woman" and "Women in the Outdoors" and private clients as well. Cox is an accomplished artist and her color pencil sketches are the basis for “Shared Treasures” published in 2000.

Steven W. Hull - Born and raised in the small town of Yucaipa at the base of the San Bernadino Mountains, Steve as a youth, enjoyed exploring the hills and streams in the surrounding area. After graduation he moved to explore the wilds of Los Angeles and went on to receive a Bachelors in Marketing from California State University at Los Angeles. The corporate life ended up not to be his cup of tea so he began obtaining his teaching credentials at Chapman University. In 1998 Hull retired from teaching to stay home and raise the children while his wife pursued her career in the Aviation Industry. In the mid 90’s Steve’s favorite Aunt introduced him to the wonders and grace of fly fishing and he’s been hooked ever since. The Madison River valley of Montana holds many treasures and memories for him and is his annual getaway hideaway. In between those times you can find him fishing the lakes and streams of the Northern Sierras. Coming full circle he and his family live in a small mountain town North of Valencia, Ca where he has turned his hobby of making beautiful stained glass windows into a growing side business and is the care giver for the kids, the house and the managerie of animals and gardens on their two acre ranch. He was eleven when he started playing the guitar and the guitar has been through every adventure with him. His music is simple yet descriptive and is a smooth blending of experiences and emotions. Steve composed and performed the music for Women in the Stream.
