Standing in a River Waving a Stick
by John Gierach: The
philosophical trout bum is back in cold water up to his hips with a
collection of 22 pieces that take him all over the Midwest. Gierach's 11th
book is a mellow excursion through familiar waters, both literally and
figuratively. In this volume, he offers essays on fishing in his local
trout stream, on looking through his fly box in the off-season, and on his
experiences in Montana and Canada. |
Another Lousy Day in Paradise
by John Gierach: Once
again, Gierach shows that he may be the best fishing writer around. The
school of fishing scribes is bloated with guys who love to tell you why
you should use a #20 Blue Dun nymph rather than a #18 Blue-Winged Olive in
a particular situation, but Gierach is not interested in any such
nonsense. Although he deeply loves catching trout from streams on a fly
rod, he is crazy enough to catch carp on a fly, too, and although purists
look down on him for this desecration of the holy fly rod, Gierach is just
having fun--an attitude he carries into his writing. |

Death, Taxes, and Leaky Waders
by John Gierach: There are two things no dedicated fly-fisher can
really have enough of: a decent selection of flies on the stream and a
decent selection of John Gierach off of it. Death, Taxes, and
Leaky Waders should go a good way toward satisfying the latter.
In this "grestest hits" of essays culled from Gierach's previous
collections, the genial wit and astute observer behind
Another Lousy Day in
Paradise, Dances with Trout, and Trout Bum reels in 40
of his favorite keepers. |
Even Brook Trout Get the Blues
by John Gierach: Assembled in this Gierach novel are 16 lively essays
on his Rocky Mountain home streams, farm ponds, dogs and the peculiarity
of fishing companions, bamboo, and even one touching the subject of gar.
Every Gierach story, while loaded with lore, is finally about trying to
fit the odd but compelling perspectives that fishing bestows into accepted
conventions of 20th-century sanity. |

Trout Bum by John Gierach: While most
of us fly-fish to escape from daily life, for John Gierach and his friends
fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is
also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective,
bitingly humorous and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. |
View From Rat Lake by John Gierach: For
devotees of fly fishing, this collection of 13 congenial essays takes
readers to prime locations for the sport in the western U.S., including
lesser-known streams and lakes. Gierach (Trout Bum) introduces certain
innovations like the "fishing car," used only to transport
anglers to their quarry, and with wit assesses the snobbery of
"purist" fly-fishers. |

Sex, Death And Fly Fishing by John

examination of life's greatest mysteries sex, death, and fly-fishing in
this book. John Gierach's quest takes us from his quiet home water o

States and Canada. We're introduced to a liverly group of fishing
buddies, some local "experts" and even an ex-girlfriend along
the way.

Where the Trout Are All as Long as Your Leg by John Gierach -
Fly-fishing's finest scribe, John Gierach, takes us from a nameless stream

and a private pond where the trout are all as long as your leg.
