"This is the first time I've met Trout Fishing in America. And although I fished almost everyday in my youth and caught hundreds of Trout, I never realized that the guy with me was Trout Fishing in America. We'd always stop at Ledet's Supermarket and buy bread, ham, and a small jar of mayonnaise on our way to the trout rooms. We'd sit in our small boat with corks bobbing in the room and eat ham sandwiches. We'd look at the sky and see rabbits, angels, or toaster ovens in the clouds. And we'd appreciate the freedom to sit in a little boat with corks bobbing and eating ham sandwiches... with mayonnaise.
This book is a travel book of sorts. It reintroduced me to America. And streams. With trout. In another time. Trout Fishing in America is alright.
I remember mistaking and old woman for a trout stream in Vermont, and I had to beg her pardon.
'Excuse me,' I said. 'I thought you were a trout stream.'
"Given to me many years ago by a girlfriend I probably should have married, I recall this book, but I don't believe it had very much to do with trout fishing, in America or anywhere else. A book of short poems that only kept the flame of fly fishing, otherwise nearly extinct in me, alive so it could flourish some day long in the future."
"An eclectic group of short stories that in some ways come together as one, but in many ways never come together at all. I really enjoyed many of the short, witty and often funny in a strange but unique sort of way stories. I actually grew up not too far from where many of these stories take place."
"Well I read this book because my friend Eric (Codeblind,for those in the know) has been telling me to read it for the last 6 months.
Well it was not terrible, I mean it wasn't particularly interesting, and it doesn't make a lot of sense, It was sort of like this is not a novel but with longer sections. Once in a while things would relate, but generally no.
I mean it wasn't bad either though. Honestly, I might have finished it even if eric didn't want me to read it so much.
I have no opinion of whether people should read this or not."
