W. Chad McPhail


McPhail co-wrote Colorado Flyfishing: Where to Eat, Sleep, Fish with Mark D. Williams, a guide book which chronicles a zany, summer-long trek across the Centennial State, as the authors attempt to fish every trout hole possible along the way.

He’s also co-author of 49 Trout Streams of Southern Colorado in which he showcases many of his favorite photos of fly fishing in Colorado.

His next book was An Introduction to Fly Fishing for Trout – a pragmatic, pain-free approach to getting new fly fishers on the water and catching fish quickly. This book was also co-written with Williams.

His professional credentials include: ESPN.com, Thisisfly.com, Examiner.com, Suite101.com, The Angling Report, Texas Fish and Game, Rocky Mountain Game and Fish, Southwest Fly Fishing, Amarillo Globe News, and many more.
