Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much sense—except when it doesn’t. In this perceptive and wryly funny book, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he’s been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later on.
Joy and frustration mix in Gierach’s 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 the 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 celebrates the indispensability of the natural world around us.
