Description

Discover the answer to lifes most pressing problems through the joy of fly-fishing from master philosopher John Gierach.

Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much senseexcept when it doesnt. In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout hes been watching for the last hourand then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierachs latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America. From fishing lodges in Alaska to memories of the local creek in the Midwest where he grew up, Gierach reminds us about the indispensability of the natural world around us.

Reviews

The dean of fly-fishing turns in another celebration of the free, unfettered life spent working a quiet stream. . . . Just the thing for any fan of fly-tying and artful casting. * Kirkus Reviews *
"Shrewd, perceptive and wryly funny. . . . Mr. Gierach, the man who coined the term 'trout bum,'is arguably the best fishing writer working." -- Bill Heavey * The Wall Street Journal *
Gierachs inviting, down-to-earth, and humorous work shares a deep love of fly-fishing and the ways it can be a metaphor for life. * Publishers Weekly *
John Gierach is an original, which is why each new book is welcomed by so many anglers as joyously required reading. Pardon the interdisciplinary reach, but Gierachs stories are rather like McCartney's musicon the one hand vitally fresh, yet on the other hand instantly familiar. Don't worry about how he does thatjust keep reading. -- Paul Schullery, author of The Fishing Life and A Fish Come True
