'John Dietsch taught Brad Pitt how to cast a fly line to prepare for the young actor’s role in “A River Runs Through It.” Now Mr. Dietsch brings his same fluid style of teaching to the rest of us in the new book, “Shadowcasting: An Introduction to the Art of Flyfishing.” Known in flyfishing and filmmaking circles as the Flyfishing Production Coordinator on the making of the film “A River Runs Through It,” Dietsch teams up with longtime friend and Roaring Fork River guide Gary Hubbell to relate the proven techniques that he used to teach flyfishing to Brad Pitt and the other actors in the film. The book is filled with alternately humorous and deeply touching anecdotes about the authors’ fishing experiences, including several never-before-told stories about the filming of Norman Maclean’s famous flyfishing novel. The book includes a 16-page gallery section with brilliant color photos by co-author Gary Hubbell, as well as several incredible photos by John Kelly from the set of “A River Runs Through It.” The book totals 208 pages and retails for $21.
Says co-author John Dietsch, “This book is for the person who has always been curious about flyfishing, but has never tried it, or has only been flyfishing a couple of times. There are other introductory flyfishing books on the shelves, but I found most of them to be practically unreadable, they’re so boring. Gary and I have found that our teaching techniques seem to make sense to the thousands of people we’ve taught to flyfish, so we tried to write about those same techniques in an mellow, entertaining fashion.”
“This book really gives the feeling of being on the river with a rod in your hand. It doesn’t get bogged down in overly technical details. Above all, I really like John’s stories. He writes beautifully,” says co-author Gary Hubbell. Colorado readers agree. Now going into its second printing, the book just won a 2000 First Place Colorado Book Award in the Sports and Recreation category. The award was presented by the Colorado Center for the Book, the state's affiliate of the Library of Congress.
