About This Item
WestWinds Press, 1988-12-01. Hardcover. Good/Good. 6x0x9. Stated First Edition (but 2nd printing). Some cocking to spine; the dustjacket has some short tears and edgewear. A fresh, contemporary look at fly fishing, and the way of life that grows out of a passion for it. Gierach is the only fly fishing writer to consistently be published by the one of the worldâs premier publishing houses. The back covers of his books include praise not only from the fly fishing press but from such authorities as Publisherâs Weekly and Sports Illustrated, which ranked him in the same league with Mark Twain. The Wall Street Journal has called him the voice of the common angler. Seamlessly entwined with Gierachâs light-hearted, self-deprecating humor is a serious and inspiring conviction that wild creatures and wild places must be preserved. And despite his own commitment to fly fishing, the split-cane-wielding philosopher gently reminds anglers not to take themselves or their sport too seriously. After all, at the end of the day, they are âstanding in a river, waving a stick.â
