Trout Fishing in America's Bio: The duo is composed of Keith Grimwood (upright bass, Clevinger bass, bass guitar, vocals) and Ezra Idlet (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, vocals). They took their name from the novel Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan.

The two met while performing together in the Houston-based folk-rock band Wheatfield, later renamed St. Elmo's Fire.
