Dances With Trout February 10, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A great blend of humor, serious information, nostalgia, and unique insight into flyfishing as a way of life. Great reading when you can't be on the stream.
 Great Stories but a bit too lengthy February 10, 2000
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
Gierach certainly wrote a commendable book with 'Dances with Trout'. The stories contained are simple and understandable; outdoorsmen can certainly relate to Gierach's feelings and thoughts about his fishing and hunting experiences. The only criticism that I have is that the stories are somewhat lengthy. Not to say that Gierach bores the reader, but unless you've got a good hour and half to sit down and read or are simpy a speed reader, you'll be exasperated 3/4 of the way through one of Gierach recollections.
Fishing isn't real life - it's much more important than that April 30, 1999

The second best thing to being on the water... Gierach comes close to defining the indefinable; why grown men and women would rather stand waist-deep in cold water waving a piece of split cane around than just about anything else. Few angling writers can make the sport readable for non-enthusiasts, but Gierach can and does. The chapter on Scotland is a particular gem, but they're all good. Buy this book, read it, then buy all the others. Especially Trout Bum.
An excellent book of short stories for the outdoorsman. December 30, 1996

Gierach's book is an excellent book of short stories for thefisherman/outdoorsman. He is able to quickly whisk you awayon whatever trip he's detailing and make your remember your best (or worst) fishing experiences. You're also likely to meet counterparts to outdoor buddies you've fished with in the past. His stories make perfect 5-15 minute reads and are guaranteed to lift your spirits. Gierach deals with hunting as well as fishing. I've purchased this and other Gierach books as gifts several times.
