Chadd VanZanten

Chadd writes outdoor essays and short fiction. He is the author of On Fly-Fishing the Bear River Watershed (The History Press 2021), an essay collection about fly-fishing the Bear River and its tributaries. Chadd is also the author of On Fly-Fishing the Wind River Range (The History Press 2018), which was selected as 2019–2020 Book of the Year by the League of Utah Writers. His fiction can be found in his short-story collection, The Key to This Whole Entire Thing (Knowledge Forest Press 2019) and numerous anthologies.

Chadd lives in northern Utah, where he works as a professional editor. When he is not writing, he is fishing. The opposite is also true.
