The 40th anniversary edition of the enduring outdoors classic from the acknowledged master of fishing writers, John Gierach, including new, previously unpublished material.
For four decades, Trout Bum has inspired anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. John Gierach didn’t just write about fly-fishing, he helped transform the sport from a technical pursuit to a way of life. Now, the 40th anniversary hardcover edition celebrates his enduring legacy with designed endpapers, never-before-published essays, and a brand-new foreword.
With his signature blend of humor and insight, Gierach brings the rivers and landscapes of the Rockies to life, capturing the emotional highs and lows every fly-fisherman knows – moments that are also unexpectedly spiritual, and (no less important) comical.
The touchstone of the literary fly-fishing tradition, Trout Bum is for anyone who values adventure, reflection, and a good cup of riverside coffee.
