Words to Paint With comprises work by award-winning writers across the state of Utah working in prose and poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Each piece in this collection has its own style and theme--help yourself to mystery, tragedy, history, levity. On one page you will find yourself on a roadtrip to nostalgia. On the pages that follow you will gaze out on dystopian futurescapes. Along the way, hear the roar of a mighty river, bear witness to a priceless gift, mourn for fallen heroes, and see great cities on fire. And although each voice is quite distinct, if you listen closely you'll notice each speaks with the same passion for writing. Read carefully, and see the words they paint with.

With remote waterways and unpressured trout, Wyoming's Wind River Range is the backcountry fly angler's mecca. In the alpine lakes and streams, trout may approach a dry fly two or more at a time, and an angler can cast for days without seeing another person, let alone another angler. But more than just a place to catch lots of fish, the range is also a place to disconnect from noise and networks and reconnect with oneself. In a series of essays on misfortunate father-and-son backpacking trips, disaffected Boy Scouts, psychotropic deep-woods epiphanies and many other topics, author Chadd VanZanten offers not only a survey of the fishing and history of the Wind Rivers but a tour of personal landscapes as well.

On Fly-Fishing the Bear River Watershed: Essays and Exceptional Misadventures

The Bear River rises in the high Uinta Mountains and flows through Wyoming, Idaho and Utah before emptying into the Great Salt Lake. Within the watershed are scores of secluded trout streams, dozens of reservoirs and one of North America's largest populations of native cutthroat trout. Angler and author Chadd VanZanten offers a compelling portrait of the most extraordinary fly-fishing destinations you've never heard of. It's also a story of embattled but resilient ecosystems, warring factions of the American West, a dash of San Francisco counterculture, cataclysmic upheavals of the planet itself and, of course, pursuing big, elusive trout.
