by Dave Ames

Book Overview

"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

Great Read

I love Dave Ames and have found myself looking for more of his books. This contains some very good stories fishing in Montana (and Bahamas). Just a good read, funny guy, never boring, someone you feel like you could pull up a barstool next to and have a good conversation.

This is pure pleasure to read

I admit I am a fan of woolly Buggery, some may argue as per the last posts. I like being buggered, it adds that special spice when the dom is woolly. It's like they dont understand the authors point of view, It kinda annoys me when people buy things yet dont understand what they are buying. I must admit my Dad wasnt too impressed when i told him i am a buggery fan, but luckily my uncle (*his brother) totaly understood and I think it has improved our relationship. My uncle now spends a lot more time taking me out and enjoying our together pleasures. Its nice to have a family that can enjoy the same interests. I say this is a good guide to a family wholesome pursuit. Lackness Mr. S

brilliant, funny...any fisher person will love it!

Dave Ames is hilariously brilliant. True Love and the Woolly Bugger isn't just for fisher people, it is a great book for anyone who enjoys all views of life, only with a twist of fish! I would recommend it to anyone!

The Pope would love this book.

If you ever have the need to walk on the wild side, rest at ease. Dave Ames has done it for you. This set of eclectic tales has the common thread of flyfishing, but the stories are more truly bound by the protagonist's need to push out the perimeters of life-as-usual. It's alternately romantic, adventurous, and weepy, with seamless transitions among all those emotions. Read it before leaving town next week-end, and the road will look different somehow, as if through tinted glasses...
