Trout bum is an affectionate nickname for dedicated trout anglers, particularly those who practice fly fishing. Use of the term is similar in tone and meaning to the antiquated term, "Surf bum". The term was popularized by author John Gierach, whose early work, Trout Bum is an anthology of informal, narrative essays on flyfishing; and magazine articles he wrote before 1986.{{cite book|first=John |last=Gierach |title= Trout Bum | publisher=Simon and Schuster | location=New York | year=1986 | isbn= 0-671-64413-0}}
Background
