Bookfest session: Trout Fishing in America


A panel of experts at the Equality State Book Festival will address one of the Rocky Mountain West’s favorite topics: fishing, fly-fishing in particular.

The presentation, “Catching the Big One: Writers on Trout,” will be held from 10:45 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Nicolaysen Art Museum, 400 East Collins, downtown Casper. It’s free and open to the public.

Join Fly Rod and Reel columnist John Gierach, whose 17 books include Trout Bum, and Sex, Death, and Fly Fishing; Oregon fish essayist Ted Leeson, author of The Habit of Rivers and many more; Casper College’s Chad Hanson, author of Swimming with Trout; and British Columbia educator and short-story writer Mallory Burton, author of Green River Virgins and other Passionate Anglers. for It will be a lively discussion of book-writing, life, dry flies, and nymphs. The panel will be moderated by the book-readin’ angler, Casper College’s own Bill Mixer.

Stay around after the session to get your favorite books signed by the authors — and gather some fishing tips.
