Few works of outdoor literature have shaped fly fishing culture like A River Runs Through It. Fifty years after its publication, Norman Maclean’s classic still speaks to anglers who understand that time on the river is about far more than trout. Host Colin Kearns sits down with John Maclean, award-winning journalist and son of Norman Maclean, for a thoughtful conversation about the legacy of the book that helped define modern fly fishing storytelling. Together they explore the passages that have inspired generations of anglers, from the famous “shadow casting” scene to the quiet reflections that capture the emotional pull of standing in moving water with a fly rod. Along the way, the discussion moves from Montana’s Blackfoot River to the deeper reasons people fish. The conversation touches on the mental clarity that comes with wading a trout stream, the rhythm of fly casting, and why fly fishing continues to help veterans and others reconnect with the outdoors. Later, John Maclean reads his essay Fishing into the Twilight, a meditation on aging as an angler, family traditions on the river, and the quiet beauty of evening trout fishing. It’s a reminder that while the fish matter, the river, the memories, and the people who taught us to fish matter even more. Follow the show for more weekly hunting and fishing conversations.
