Synopsis
From the Pacific Northwest to the Upper Midwest to the Canadian Maritimes, âÈêAmericaâÈçs best fishing writerâÈë ( Houston Chronicle ) shows us why lifeâÈçs most valuable lessonsâÈ'and some of its best experiencesâÈ'are found while fly-fishing. For John Gierach, fishing is always the answerâÈ'even when itâÈçs not clear what the question is. HeâÈçs fished for steelhead in the Pacific Northwest, bull trout in British Columbia, bonefish in Mexico, and pike in the Upper Midwest. HeâÈçs even tried winter fly-fishing and braved the remote Alaskan wilderness. Through it all, he has nurtured his enduring love for the sport. In All Fisherman Are Liars , the ever-popular Gierach shares insights, musings, and countless stories from the profound to the funny to the downright absurd that heâÈçs collected over a lifetime of fishing. Traveling around North America, Gierach seeks out great fishing experiences with one goal in mind: to have a good time and maybe catch some fish. He talks about fashion in flies and fly-tying, about the mysteries of why certain flies work, and about the etiquette of fishing a popular spot. He reflects on how it feels to approach a new stream, acting nonchalant while experiencing intense excitement and anticipation. He also muses about fishing rods: âÈêAlthough I own enough rods to build a picket fence around my property, I can sometimes be convinced that I need just one more .âÈë And though Gierach loses some fish along the way, he never loses his passion and sense of humor. Wry, contemplative, and as lively as ever, Gierach gives us a book as edifying as it is entertaining. All Fishermen Are Liars is a joy to readâÈ'and, as always, the next best thing to fishing itself.
