Eventually, Fishtrap events grew beyond these major categories. Today, Currents is writers in local schools and communities, a weekend bookmaking workshop, Friday night poetry readings, Saturday morning story times. A Currents schedule, which also includes times for major events, is posted on the Calendar page of this site. Winter Fishtrap is held at Eagle Cap Chalets at Wallowa Lake. Enrollment is limited to 50.
Meal package is required.
At any rate, after thinking and reading and talking with folks around the west, we have rounded up a great group of presenters to bring us up from or out of February doldrums with a rollicking weekend at Wallowa Lake. And I think that a long philosophical discussion about the subject might prove the adage about comedy being more difficult than tragedy. So this Fishtrap is a break, and an opportunity. We invite humorists, satirists, laughers, jokesters, and folks too stressed by too much too crazy stuff going on in life to make sense of it all to join us in February to nudge funny bones, share stories, and hear some fine ones from three people who have been working the territory for years in different ways and places. He made fun of alcoholics and twelve steppers in a book called Sorrow Floats, and is now tuning his own funny novels for the screen.
