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 Rockies -- day in, day out, from season to season, with friends and alone. John Gierach's essays join the literary tradition of angling classics like "The River Why," and "A River Runs Through It."
