'"Everything in nature is essentially inscrutable," claims Russell Chatham in The Angler's Coast, but his written observations of the world around him are as evocative as his painted landscapes. Chatham epitomizes the words "fly fisherman", and his coast stretches from Baja north to British Columbia. Whether salmon fishing with the legendary Bill Schaadt on the Smith River, shad fishing on the Russian River, or seeking herring on a slow day in Tomales Bay, the author is consistently incisive and amusing, and he brings a naturalist's eye to bear on the increasingly fragile condition of the water he surveys.
First published in 1976, this second edition has been expanded to include more than seventy photographs of the great fishermen and rivers of the West Coast.
Russell Chatham's writing includes hundreds of articles, short stories, essays and reviews about fly fishing, bird hunting and conservation as well as a number of pieces on food and wine. Since 1967 his work has appeared in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic, Men's Journal, Outside, Sports Afield, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Gray's Sporting Journal, Fly Fisherman, Fly Rod and Reel, as well as in dozens of newspapers and smaller specialty magazines. Other books include Silent Seasons, and Dark Waters.
Mr. Chatham is the founder and publisher of Clark City Press, which, since 1989, has published twenty-eight books of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art, photography, and children's classics, all of which have given the Livingston based company a sound national reputation. He resides in Livingston, Montana where he is actively involved in his restaurant, Chatham's Livingston Bar & Grille, Clark City Press, and his work as a landscape painter.
