Writers on the Fly - A Fly Fishing Reading Series

 


Begun in January 2015, Writers on the Fly is a reading series featuring some of the finest writers in fly fishing, both old voices and new. 

 

The readings

Each reading follows a simple template: three or four featured readers, along with a featured artist and a featured non-profit. The goal is straightforward: to showcase the best writing being done about fly fishing today, bring exposure to artists taking fly fishing as their subject, and highlight the work of non-profit organizations whose mission is in some way tied to the sport. 


Writers on the Fly is real—when you get to listen to and see these authors read their stories, it’s powerful.
— Bobby Foster, Fly fishing guide and videographer
