Chasing Rumor

A Modern-Day Pilgrimage to the Land of the Mythical Twenty-Pound TroutWhen the North American rivers turn icy and the grass turns brown, fly fishermen retreat to the fishing holes of their imaginations. In the great tradition of fishing literature, Chasing Rumor is the chronicle of one young angler's attempt to experience the fishing utopia he had created in his mind's eye. As with all rumors and imaginings, in some ways his journey fell short of expectations. In others, the highlight reel he'd created could not possibly prepare him for the adventures of this captivating and mysterious fisherman's mecca in a unique, pristine part of the world. Cameron Chambers first experienced Patagonia while working as a fishing guide on Chile's Futaleaufu River. Cameron's articles have appeared in Fly Fisherman, American Angler, Traveling Angler, and other magazines. When he is not fishing in Patagonia, Cameron is a firefighter in Seattle. He has also served as a smokejumper for the U.S. Forest Service.
