Derek Bird is the Founding Editor of Fly Fusion Magazine. He’s worked with Fly Fusion since its inception and played an integral role in establishing the magazine’s unique vision. On a practical level, he writes the “Stream Lines” column for each issue and oversees acquisition of editorial content. Along with writing and editing, he also cohosts the popular Fly Fusion TV Series, and is the one of the producers of the International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4). Most recently he authored his first novel: Last Summer on the Sage. The story is a coming-of age-narrative written for anyone who’s ever lived the euphoria of young love or wondered what’s around the next bend. The novel reveals that in a life full of consequential questions, there’s deep importance in taking the time to do something as seemingly inconsequential as casting flies to trout.
