Henry Winkler Shares Fishing Stories
'The Fonz' goes beyond actor, celebrity, producer and children's book author to share the wisdom fly fishing brings to his life.
Henry Winkler—actor, producer and bestselling author of 17 children's books—is perhaps best known for his role as the Fonz on Happy Days. But what many probably don't know is that he is an avid fly fisherman whose favorite spots to fish are Montana and Idaho.
Winkler's new book, I've Never Met an Idiot on the River, is a delightful collection of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations as he shares the joy and wisdom accumulated while honing his skills as a fly fisherman.
Winkler meticulously records the measurements of every fish he hooks.

Over the years, he learned that his annual trips to the river are not just about catching trout. They are about adopting the proper perspective on life—or as he puts it, "The river acts like a washing machine for my brain," recharging him and reminding him that anything is possible.
This book is about life, family, relaxation and love. Winkler shares his love of angling with his wife, Stacey, and their three children, Jed, Zoe and Max.
