Twelve stories from one of the most captivating voices in contemporary outdoor literature. Fed by the fertile springs of love and sport, Lost in Wyoming treats readers to a rare taste in literary fiction, the bittersweet pleasures of relationships afield. Men and women, fathers and sons, siblings separated by lifes unfathomable tides, the characters in these stories share in the heartfelt tug of wars immediately recognizable in all of our lives.

Scott Sadil has been the Angling Editor at Grays Sporting Journal for the past six years. He is the author of six previous books, both fiction and nonfiction, that explore fly fishing as a sport, a craft, and a vehicle for meaningful relationships between those with whom we share our waters. Lost in Wyoming, a collection of short stories, was selected as a finalist for the 2011 Ken Kesey Oregon Book Award in fiction. During his career Sadil has written for every significant fly fishing magazine, including twelve years writing the "At the Vise" fly tying column for California Fly Fisher. When hes not searching for fish, Sadil builds wooden boats at his home in Oregon.

“When I read my first Scott Sadil story I decided he was the real thing. This collection confirms his status as a writer we should read.”  
— John Gierach

Lost in Wyoming is much more than a collection of fishing stories. There are fish here, yes, and fishing, two things Scott Sadil knows inside and out, but more importantly these stories are about people you wont soon forget and Sadil understands as much about them, the mechanics and workings of the human heart, as he does about fishing.” 
— Pete Fromm

“With language as clear and lively as the rivers that run through them, Scott Sadils short stories dissect the extremities and the heart of the human condition with a sharp and eloquent scalpel.” 
— James R. Babb

“These stories about life and fishing-about life intertwined with fishing—are beautifully written and contain all of those moments of surprise and victory and loss and joy and anguish that we all know are elemental to life and to fishing, and the two when theyre combined.” 
— Dave Hughes
