WaterWatch welcomes angler, musician, and Mountaineers Books author Steve Duda for the second of his two Oregon appearances in a special evening with WaterWatch’s Jesse Robbins at Roundabout Books and Café in Bend this Thursday, Sept. 12th. Roundabout Books is located in NorthWest Crossing at 900 NW Mt. Washington Dr., Suite 110.
The managing editor for fly fishing at Patagonia, Steve will read selections from his new book River Songs: Moments of Wild Wonder in Fly Fishing, take audience questions, and talk with WaterWatch development officer, fellow angler, Writers On the Fly colleague, and event host Jesse Robbins. Steve previously served as the editor at The Flyfish Journal, was a founding editor at Boise Weekly, and wrote for Seattle’s legendary music weekly The Rocket. His writing has recently appeared in Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, Seattle Weekly, San Francisco Bay Guardian, and other outlets.
To paraphrase The Mountaineers Books, Steve’s book focuses on the in-between moments and unexpected revelations that are as much a part of fishing as “tying knots and chucking flies,” including battered pickup trucks, fishing between jobs, gazing longingly at unfished rivers, and how a fishing trip led to a tooth being pulled — with beauty, discovery, heartbreak, and nature in between.
