An Angler’s Lament: The Rivers We Love, Shriveled into Memories
Fishing, and fly-fishing in particular, creates an intimacy with a stream and its life forms. What happens when the stream disappears?
Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Water Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on November 1, 2018, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on water resilience. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors and contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Shawn Pittard is a writer and fly-fisher and works as an environmental planner at the California Energy Commission in Sacramento. He is the author of two volumes of poetry: Standing in the River, which was the winner of Tebot Bach’s 2010 Clockwise Chapbook Competition, and These Rivers from Rattlesnake Press.
