Book Description
Trout Bum is a fresh, contemporary look at fly fishing, and the way of life that grows out ofa passion for it. The people, the places, and the accoutrements that surround the sport make a fishing trip more than a set of tactics and techniques. John Gierach, a serious fisherman with a wry sense of humor, show us just how much more with his fishing stories and a unique look at the fly-fishing lifestyle. Trout Bum is really about why people fish as much as it is about how they fish, and it is ultimately about enduring values and about living in a harmony with our environment. Few books have had the impact on an entire generation that Trout Bum has had on the fly-fishing world. The wit, warmth, and the easy familiarity that John Gierach brings to us in Trout Bum is as fresh and engaging now was when it was first published twenty-five years ago. There's no telling how many anglers have quit their jobs and headed west after reading the first edition of this classic collection of fly-fishing essays.

Book Description
To catch fish, you need to know where to fish. Steve visited every location discussed and discovered Maryland provides a startling array of trout fishing opportunities, ranging from some surprising locations on the Eastern Shore all the way to the wild and roiling rivers of Garrett County in the western mountains. This book covers 100% of the stocked trout water in Maryland along with the better known wild trout streams. For each, Steve provides a description, directions and an itemized list of access points. However, knowing anglers judge water by "how it looks," he includes at least one picture (551 total) for each location, allowing you to make an informed judgment before burning the gas to visit any particular spot. Given the availability of GPS technology on devices ranging from cell phones to car navigation systems, Steve includes 902 GPS coordinates to describe the stream boundaries as well as every known access point. Plug these into your navigation system for custom directions or into the Google(TM) satellite view for a bird's-eye perspective of the water and the surrounding terrain. Add your own favorite wild streams using the methodological approach described in the chapter on "Blue Lining." Finally, Steve's chapter on "Stocked Trout Behavior" contains lessons learned from a number scientific studies. Understanding the movement dynamics of freshly stocked fish allows you to position yourself to maximize your catch Reviewed and checked by members of the Potomac-Patuxent and Northern Virginia Chapters of Trout Unlimited, Potomac Valley Fly Fishers, and the Annapolis Chapter of the Free State Fly Fishers. Feedback included: "Likely to be regarded as the 'Bible' for trout fishing" "Your work is well prepared, it is impressive"
