I Know Bill Schaadt

Ben Taylor -

Bill Schaadt was a study in contradictions - a man defined as much by his intense, single-minded focus on the river as by the warmth he reserved for his closest friends. While his reputation for being abrupt or difficult was earned, those who looked deeper found a sensitive soul who valued companionship and went out of his way to avoid lingering conflict. This collection of firsthand accounts from thirty of his peers pulls back the curtain on the legend, revealing the man behind the "competition." For those looking to understand the mystical, driving force that defined an era of West Coast angling, these stories offer an intimate look at the true Bill Schaadt.
