Trout bum

Trout bum

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 first book, "Trout Bum" is an anthology of informal, narrative essays on flyfishing; and magazine articles he wrote before 1986.

The Norwegian film Trout Bum (2004) featuring André Brun, is the first fly fishing film on the subject, and has further popularized the term.

Notable uses

[http://www.flyrodandreel.com/ Fly Rod and Reel] Magazine hosts an annual Trout Bum tournament dedicated to the pursuit of as many trout species as a two-man team of anglers can catch on a budget of only $500.
