Bill Mixer is the Director of the Environmental Training Center at Casper College and teaches both Water Quality classes and Fly Fishing there. He likes you to ask him which class he likes to teach the most. Mixer finds creative ways to teach Water Quality in communities across Wyoming that coincidentally have fine fishing holes. An avid book reader, Mixer caught his very first fish at his Grandfather's cabin in Michigan on the Pere Marquette River, and it remains his best story to this day. He'll be leading the panel, "Catching the Big One: Writers on Trout" scheduled for 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20th at the Nicolaysen Art Museum. Bill subscribes to a philosophy espoused by our panelist John Gierach. Roughly it states that the solution to any problem--love, work, or money--is to go fishing. The bigger the problem the longer the trip should be.
