I've Never Met an Idiot on the River Reflections on Family Photography and FlyFishing Henry Winkler Books

This is a happy and a generous book.

In it the former Happy Days star talks about his life, its challenges, and his joy in living it and overcoming the challenges.

For Winkler, fishing is a source of joy, but also instruction in how life ought best to be lived, and a metaphor as to the meaning of what really is important.

What does it teach?

Confidence, intuition, patience, perseverance, focus - all qualities that were needed for the author to rise above the negative scripting of perfectionistic, almost abusive parents (their nickname for him was Dumb Dog).

It's an exploration of reaching one's potential. Winkler comes across as a man who knows himself, is grounded in this knowledge, and is living life to the fullest.

I particularly enjoyed the photography (nature photography is another of Winkler's passions) and the way in which they complement the text.

Reading this is an uplifting experience.

I've Never Met an Idiot on the River Reflections on Family Photography and FlyFishing Henry Winkler Books Reviews

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Interesting look into Henry's life and his love of fly fishing. Book was about the right length too.
Nice book to be enjoyed by fellow fly fisherman.
This is such a good book......my husband fishes the same area and he really enjoyed Henry Winkler's experiences and comments. It was a great
Christmas gift!
My kids grew up with the Fonz and I enjoy Henry's work. This fishing memoir is his tribute to the benefits trout fishing with a fly rod brings to one's life, those benefits that don't smell like fish. Beautiful photos and heartfelt remembrances. Keep fishing Henry!
This book is simply delightful. You don't have to be a fly fisherman or a photographer to enjoy it and learn from it. Anyone who has ever had their souls crushed will find paths to renewal in this book. Finding lessons all around him, Mr. Winkler shares his revelations with us in the most charming way. Beautifully written and, at times, laugh out loud funny. This book is for fly fishermen, photographers, and anyone who has ever struggled in life.
If you're a fly fisherperson (which I am) you will find this book has very little about fly fishing, and all about Mr. Winkler's spoiled kids. Not recommended to people who fly fish.
I have long admired Henry Winkler as an actor, and I am even a fan of his children's books Hank Zipzer Collection. When I saw that he had this book, I purchased it immediately.

I have never been fly fishing, but still I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although the book deals mostly with his fishing trips, it is more about life and appreciating it than it is a "how to" guide. He also uses his own photographs of the beauty around him to illustrate the book. All of the photographs are great, but some of them are just absolutely breath-taking. I did not know that Henry Winkler was such a wonderful photographer, but add that to his other list of amazing talents.

Overall, the book was fun and easy to read, but it was definitely a great read. The last chapter was especially inspirational to me, personally. Henry Winkler is an amazing person, and this book shows that. I'm glad I bought this book.
