"The Silent Act of Knowing"
I hope you all enjoy my essay entitled, "The Silent Act of Knowing" which has been published in the April/May issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine.
Below is one of the wonderful illustrations for the piece that was painted my artist Allan Hassall! Allan did a great job of creating images that reflect the story.
Also in that same issue is a review of my book, "Casting Forward" by writer/editor/author Bill Bowers!

I'm truly pleased to see this wonderful review and preview of my book, "

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Ryan Meyer of Lyons Press/ Globe Pequot and to Marshall Cutchin of MidCurrent Magazine for making this happen.
The people on my Lyons Press team have simply been magnificent to work with and to come to know. I consider each one of them, a truly dear friend. Truly.

Trout Magazine Reviews "Casting Forward!"
Just Sharing...
I'm so pleased and grateful to see the wonderful review of my book, "Casting Forward" in the Winter issue of Trout Magazine.
It means even more coming from my buddy Kirk Deeter whom I love like a brother. In full disclosure, Kirk points out that we have become good friends. But if you know Kirk, he is a man of honor and a recommendation from him is golden.
I hope you will open your copy of Trout Magazine and give Kirk's review a look. (And if you're not a member, you should be, even if you do not fish. TU is a wonderful conservation organization. I am a Life Member. I was never so happy to give any organization my $1k. Earnings well Invested.)
The other reason I hope you will open this issue includes reading my friend Michael Salomone's wonderful essay entitled, "Summer Smoke." Bravo my friend!
And of course there is the wonderful John Gierach story entitled, "Aniak" that included the artwork of my other brother Bob White and the photography of my long distance buddy Mike Dvorak.
(I am so happy and honored to share the Bob will be doing the illustrations on the sequel to "Casting Forward" which is entitled, "Casting Onward" and is scheduled to be released by Lyons Press at the end of this year.)
Trout is a great magazine that supports a great cause.
Trout Unlimited doesn't just restore and protect trout... it works to restore and protect entire watersheds which translates to ecosystems.
I am honored to be a regular author for this fine journal, a Life Member of this fine organization, and count so many of its fine people as some of my best friends.
