"True Love and the Woolly Bugger is a thoroughly amusing, manic,
and perversely informative book about fishing in several of its
most mutant forms." -Tom McGuane
"Dave Ames's book . . . is good-natured fun, filled with insight, a
passion for what honest fly fishing really is. He has a sharp eye
for quirky nuance that makes simple language dance a wild
step."
-John Holt, author of Knee Deep in Montana's Trout Streams
"True Love and the Woolly Bugger is adventurous and funny, and yet
also poignant. In short, it's not just a fishing book, but very
much like life itself, and well worth reading, even by folks who
have never made a cast." -John Barsness, editor of Gray's Sporting
Journal and Montana Time
When is "sex, death, and fly fishing" not about the life cycle of
an insect? When you read True Love and the Woolly Bugger, which
views fly fishing and life through a different lens. In these tales
trout, tarpon, and bonefish are skillfully interwoven with all the
things-funny, happy, and sad-that happen to Dave Ames's completely
unforgettable characters: a laid-back Bahamian fishing guide who
stalks "gourmet" food, especially for his American clients; a
tattooed, motorcycle-riding, fly-fishing beauty who teaches the
hero a thing or two; his fishing buddies . . . a perverse and
driven lot who continually push the envelope of sanity and good
judgment.
"True Love" takes you to the Bob Marshall Wilderness to fish for
grayling and trout, and to learn about enduring love. "The Woolly
Bugger" is an odyssey through three decades of fishing and
sometimes hard living, from the author's childhood bait fishing to
his truly unusual conversion to flies and catch-and-release.
True Love and the Woolly Bugger will captivate you with remarkable
stories, remarkably told, and leave you asking for more.
