For the author,'trout bum' is not an insult it's an aspiration. If you've ever wished you could spend less time at work more time 'on line' in a trout stream, join the author for a good-natured wade into the seeming contradiction of the 'silence and babble' of the fabled waters in and around Yellowstone Park. Fishermen know the next best things to actual fishing are buying new gear and swapping stories about their time on the water. Since there is no gear to buy here, drag your chair a little closer to the fire to share some Fishful Thinking. Sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, often thought-provoking, and always entertaining, these letters to friends are really meant for anyone who loves wild trout and their environs. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

About the Author

Dave Gillogly, a lifelong Oklahoman, served on a governor's staff, headed a state agency, managed two independent oil companies, and served as President and COO of Express Employment Professionals until his retirement in 2000. Today, when he's not chasing trout, he serves on a number of for-profit and not-for-profit boards, teaches MBA students at Oklahoma Baptist University, and coaches and mentors senior level executives and business owners. He and his wife Millicent split time between their homes in Edmond, Oklahoma and Silver Gate, Montana, one mile outside the Northeast Entrance Gate to Yellowstone Park.
