Product Description

Review
"Rod & Reel"

A brilliant collection of narrative essays about flies, fly rods, float tubes, and just plain fishing. "Trout Bum" will be a classic of angling literature, not because it adheres to an ancient model, but because it updates a tradition....The way Gierach tells a story is an act of pure generosity....

Synopsis
Essays discuss trout, bass, fishing camps, mosquitoes, fly rods, night fishin fly-tying, and favorite fishing spots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Fishing, 3 Feb 2009

By	Martin in Preston "Martin in Preston" (Preston, Lancashire) - See all my reviews

John Gierach is a trout bum, dedicated to fly-fishing with cane rods with everything else in his life coming some way behind in priority. He is also a magical writer, perceptive, illustrative, who communicates the joy of fishing better than any other author I have encountered. He will go off on a tangent about the importance of good coffee for pages, and just drop in the name of a fly offhand. He paints wonderful pictures of the Colorado countryside without getting lyrical. I am not sure if fishing myself, or reading about him fishing, is more enjoyable. Probably reading about him.

Don't expect technical detail, he is far better than that. Though he teaches you plenty about the how's, it is the why's that are important, and nobody writes better than Gierach about the philosophy of fishing, without seeming to.
