Forty years of trout, rivers, and the unmistakable wit of John Gierach. The 40th Anniversary Edition of Trout Bum celebrates one of fly fishing's most beloved literary classics. Featuring previously unpublished material and a new foreword by actor Liam Neeson, this special edition revisits the stories, observations, and adventures that helped define a generation of fly fishing literature.
With his signature blend of dry humor, thoughtful observation, and an appreciation for life's simpler pleasures, John Gierach takes readers into the rivers and landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. His stories explore everything from challenging trout and memorable fishing companions to the unexpected lessons learned along the water. Equal parts funny, philosophical, and wonderfully relatable, Trout Bum reminds us that fly fishing has always been about much more than catching fish.
About the Author
John Gierach (1946–2024) was an award-winning author and one of the most influential voices in modern fly fishing literature. The author of more than twenty books, he became known for his sharp wit, understated humor, and remarkable ability to find meaning in the everyday experiences of anglers.
Often celebrated as the voice of the common angler, Gierach was inducted into the Fly-Fishing Hall of Fame in 2015. He lived in Lyons, Colorado, with his wife, Susan de Castro McCann, until his passing in 2024. His writing continues to inspire anglers who recognize that the best fishing stories are rarely just about the fish.
Whether you're discovering John Gierach for the first time or returning to an old favorite, the 40th Anniversary Edition of Trout Bum is a must-have addition to any fly fishing library and a fitting tribute to one of the sport's greatest storytellers.
