Amazon.com Review
The author, being that most unusual creature--an honest angler--offers this caveat on the opening page: "Many of us have elevated fly fishing (especially our favorite kind) to the highest category of human endeavor: something we don't need to explain unless we feel like it. Of course, if we do feel like explaining it, look out. We're liable to start referring to it as an 'art' and maybe even sit down and write a book or something." The rest you can guess. This is one man's opinion about the art of fishing small streams with a fly rod--a guide that is always entertaining and frequently worthy of underlining. Readers familiar with the John Gierach of Dances with Trout and Even Brook Trout Get the Blues will recognize in Fly Fishing Small Streams the folksy wisdom and amiable writing that has made this trout-bumming author's books of essays so popular. However, like Flyfishing: The High Country and Fishing Bamboo, it's an instructional. This isn't to say it's not a fun read, but it remains foremost a guidebook--and a very useful one at that. --Langdon Cook, Sports & Outdoors editor

 Dave Hughes' Small Streams book wins April 5, 2005

Dave Hughes did it better in my opinion, though it's the only one that Hughes won out. Makes for decent bathroom reading when you get sick of thumbing through the Fly Fishing catalogs.
 How to think about fishing December 11, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Gierach is very good at describing the mindset of fishing, and this book is a very good example. There is technical information and practical advice, to be sure, but the most valuable parts of the book are the descriptions of how to think, act, and feel about approach fish on a small stream. And of course, Gierach is a very entertaining writer.
 GIERACH KNOWS HIS SMALL STREAM STUFF! September 7, 2000

All I do is fish small streams and this book rules.Anyone who doesn't think so isn't really a small stream person, but someone posing as a fly fisherman while it's a fad.I've been fishing small streams since I could walk and he has hit the heart of the subject perfectly.The book is perfectly balanced with humor,good stories and tons of practical and accurate advice-this is by far his best book-and the best book on the subject-PERIOD!BUY IT!!!!

This is the first of John's books that I have read. He has an easy going way of expressing himself. As I read this book it is almost like being there. One of the most enjoyable books I'v ever read. Looking foward to reading his others.
Just a little more technical than the normal "BUM" August 27, 1998
