Before Trout Bum, A Memoir, contains numerous memories regarding the the friendship John Gierach and I shared. At the time John and I met in 1980, the angling community was significantly smaller than it has become. We visited, talked and fished frequently, which resulted in memories that precede the publication of Trout Bum, thus the title, while John wrote and lived the life many others came to admire and emulate.
