Graced by Waters:  Tales from a Relapsing Fishaholic,  Presented by John Dietsch

John will be at the meeting in person.

John Dietsch is an award-winning author, filmmaker, and longtime Aspen fishing guide who has shared his passion for fly fishing with anglers in more than thirty countries. He is perhaps best known for supervising the fly fishing scenes in the classic film A River Runs Through It, where he helped design the final fishing sequence and even doubled for Brad Pitt in the rapids.

Beyond the big screen, John has written two acclaimed books on fly fishing, including Graced by Waters, which explores the transformative power of nature. He also created and hosted the Telly® Award–winning TV series Adventure Guides: Fly Fishing Edition on NBC Sports and Outdoor Channel, and has produced or appeared in numerous other fishing and adventure programs.

A passionate advocate for conservation and the mindful side of angling, John has spoken to clubs, retreats, and events worldwide. When he’s not guiding in Aspen or filming on location, you might find him fly fishing the surf for corbina near his home in Southern California.
