  <description><![CDATA[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 <em>writer.</em> The essays in <em>Trout Bum</em> 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 <em>The River Why,</em> and <em>A River Runs Through It.</em><p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[At least one of the essays is outstanding; others, not so much.  Gierach shows that he understands the confusion felt by fly fishermen when they are asked to do something so completely at odds with the basic concept of fly fishing, namely, to fish with a &quot;nymph&quot; on the bottom of the stream...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62433973">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[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 <em>writer.</em> The essays in <em>Trout Bum</em> 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 <em>The River Why,</em> and <em>A River Runs Through It.</em><p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[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 <em>writer.</em> The essays in <em>Trout Bum</em> 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 <em>The River Why,</em> and <em>A River Runs Through It.</em><p></p>]]>
