Wisdom River: Meditations on Life Midstream shifts focus in contemporary trout fishing writing from extreme adventure writing and Instagram "trout porn" back toward its more mindful and bookish origins. It is not an attempt to go back, but rather, to revisit the kind of literature that the authors and editors were reading as they fell in love with living rivers and fly fishing for trout. Each of the contributors brings a unique perspective and voice as they share lessons learned from the time they've spent riverside and midstream. Authors, poets, and artists in the book include Larry Kapustka, Chad Okrusch, Jerry Kustich, Rayelynn Brandl, Doris Daley, Al "Doc" Mehl, Pat Munday, Kaitlyn Okrusch, Kayla Lappin, Paul Vang, David McCumber, Kelly John Dick, John McKee, Matt Vincent, Jim McClennan, Chris Pribus, Tim Foster, and Tyler Rock.
