  • Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West by Jen Corrinne Brown examines how trout fishing as a quintessential experience of communion with nature misrepresents the sport’s long history of environmental and cultural manipulation. “Brown demonstrates that the majestic trout streams often considered a timeless feature of the American West are in fact the product of countless human interventions adding up to a profound manipulation of the Rocky Mountain environment.” University of Washington Press; Reprint edition, paperback (February 11, 2017).
