«The best fishing stories are about something other than fishing but wouldn’t have come up without the fishing. Scott not only understands that, he does it beautifully.»

John Gierach, author of Trout Bum

«Though billed as fiction, there’s too much familiarity in these essays to say they weren’t penned from the personal experiences of a dedicated angler. Sadil threads life into these stories and if that’s what you like, this is your read.»

Greg Thomas, Editor, American Angler

«Scott Sadil’s Goodnews River is the best of fiction wrapped around fishing. It delivers you to beautiful places you’ve never been, and might never go, introduces you to some folks you’d like to meet, and a few you’d rather not, all in fine prose that propels you to keep reading.»

Dave Hughes, author of more than twenty books about fly fishing, including Handbook of Hatches, Tact
