Rob's introduction to fly fishing literature started with a copy of Sex, Death, And Fly Fishing while on vacation in The Galápagos Islands during the summer of 1993. The writings of John Gierach inspired Rob to pursue a lifetime of trout fishing, fly tying, travelling to Colorado, writing, and telling stories. Rob wanted to be a trout bum before he could drive a car. Rob talks about his fondness for Gierach’s work and his inspiration which led Rob to talk into a microphone instead of tap stories onto a keyboard. John’s life of trout fishing ended in October 2024. His voice will be missed by the entire fishing community. Thankfully his words will last forever on paper. Be sure to read his collected works, short stories, periodical contributions from the past four decades. I will always think of him when I hear the bagpipes.
