The collection contains photographs, correspondence, festival and concert materials, musical recordings, press coverage, promotional materials, and other records documenting the band Trout Fishing in America. Some materials relate to the band's brief work under the name Pavlov's Band, as well as to the band Wheatfield (previously known as St. Elmo's Fire), which Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet were members of before forming Trout Fishing in America.
