Rediscovered by fishermen a half-century later, the fish had grown to epic proportions. In \u003ci\u003eChasing Rumor\u003c\/i\u003e, Cameron Chambers chronicles his modern-day pilgrimage to the rivers of Patagonia in pursuit of these legendary 20-pound trout. What started as a trip focused on catching fish became a love affair with the Patagonian landscape, environment, and, mostly, the people. From a business mogul turned B\u0026amp;B owner to a kid determined to save a local trout population, \u003ci\u003eChasing Rumor\u003c\/i\u003e is at times the story of a handful of fishermen, and at other times a tale of enormous trout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Modern-Day Pilgrimage to the Land of the Mythical Twenty-Pound Trout \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the North American rivers turn icy and the grass turns brown, fly fishermen retreat to the fishing holes of their imaginations. In the great tradition of fishing literature, Chasing Rumor is the chronicle of one young angler's attempt to experience the fishing utopia he had created in his mind's eye. As with all rumors and imaginings, in some ways his journey fell short of expectations. In others, the highlight reel he'd created could not possibly prepare him for the adventures of this captivating and mysterious fisherman's mecca in a unique, pristine part of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCameron Chambers first experienced Patagonia while working as a fishing guide on Chile's Futaleaufu River.
