True Love and the Woolly Bugger

Rating:
Summary: brilliant, funny...any fisher person will love it!
Review: ...and a little too predictable for my taste.

I presumed that the stories were fiction, are they?

Unlike Gierach where one gets the feeling of the real river, the soil, his personal experience through an inspired journalism, Ames is a craftsman writer. Perhaps I expected more from the hype?

Summary: Enjoyable but over sentimental.

Summary: A great read...with many "a-ha" insights into life and love
Review: I don't flyfish, but I have a close friend who does. After reading "The River Why," I got hooked on this type of book that merges good fishing stories with funny, poignant and philosophical thoughts on life. "True Love and the Woolly Bugger" is definitely one of those books. I highly recommend it to everyone...men, women, flyfishers or wannabes.

Summary: The Pope would love this book.
Review: If you ever have the need to walk on the wild side, rest at ease. Dave Ames has done it for you. This set of eclectic tales has the common thread of flyfishing, but the stories are more truly bound by the protagonist's need to push out the perimeters of life-as-usual. It's alternately romantic, adventurous, and weepy, with seamless transitions among all those emotions. Read it before leaving town next week-end, and the road will look different somehow, as if through tinted glasses...
