John Gierach returns with another book-length rumination on fishing, covering everything from fishing the high country to fishing with friends vs. going solo to the enduring appeal of the fishing vest in the high-tech age to dozens more topics that will appeal to fishermen everywhere. A few of Gierach's wise and witty observations: ""You can't expect to hit it dead on with every trip -- although that does happen now and then -- but there are usually fish and if you pay attention and bear down a little, you usually catch some.

John Gierach returns with another book-length rumination on fishing, covering everything from fishing the high country to fishing with friends vs. going solo to the enduring appeal of the fishing vest in the high-tech age to dozens more topics that will appeal to fishermen everywhere. A few of Gierach's wise and witty observations: ""You can't expect to hit it dead on with every trip -- although that does happen now and then -- but there are usually fish and if you pay attention and bear down a little, you usually catch some. And when a trip really does go in the crapper, as one will eventually, you are still somehow fulfilling your destiny as a fisherman, and that's bound to be for the best."" ""I had gotten myself past the expectation of success and into the fisherman's eternal riddles: There are fish in here somewhere, but where? They're in here sometime, but when? They're eating something, but what? If this were a koan -- and I'm not sure it isn't -- it would be: If the salmon cannot be caught, how will you catch him?"" ""Imagine the first human to conceive of this. He'd have dipped a hook in the water and plucked out a fish. People wouldn't have believed him, so he'd have shown them and it would have seemed like magic. Some days it still does."" No one describes the magic of fishing better than John Gierach, and no one writes more magically about the subject.
