Bon Bartlett-

Retired university educator, writer, storyteller, researcher, film producer and passionate fly fisher, Bob holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Colorado Mesa University, a master’s from Washington State, and a doctorate in leadership from Gonzaga. He’s a Vietnam veteran.

Bob currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Spokane Riverkeeper, is a life member of Trout Unlimited and a fly-fishing instructor. As a writer he has a chapter in Paul Lindholdt’s (2018) book the Spokane River and a chapter pending publication in Greg Gordon’s Rewilding the Urban Frontier.  As a storyteller, Bob recently offered a free Zoom presentation entitled, Fly fishing through midlife and beyond: Reflections and insights from an aging fly fisher. Few if any know more at firsthand about fishing the Spokane River, an urban stream that many fly anglers might be inclined to ignore. His talk to the Clearwater Fly Casters will focus on that experience.
