description: Brilliant witty perceptive essays about fly-fishing the natural world and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.While most of us fly-fish to escape from daily life for John Gierach and his friends fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective bitingly humorous and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. In vivid unforgettable detail they recount the emotional spiritual and tangible adventures and pleasures of stalking trout in and around the Rockiesday in day out from season to season with friends and alone. John Gierachs essays join the literary tradition of angling classics like The River Why and A River Runs Through It.
