Carl will present “The Loveliest Disease: Angling as a Therapeutic Pastime” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 10, 2024, in the Strand Union Building Ballroom on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman, MT. The event is part of MSU Library’s Trout Lecture Series and is free and open to the public. The evening includes a post-event reception.

When asked about his plans for the talk, Hiaasen said, “I won’t be giving an actual speech. It will be more like a group therapy session, because all of us who are most at peace with a flyrod in our hands suffer from the same incurable affliction. We desperately need help–and, of course, big fish in clear water.”
