John Gierach writes fly-fishing essays about rivers, weather, friendship and the rituals surrounding angling. Trout Bum established his laid-back, essay-based approach, while Sex, Death, and Fly-Fishing, Standing in a River Waving a Stick and All Fishermen Are Liars continue through trips, equipment, camp life and the odd logic of people who organise their lives around fish. Gierach's prose is dry, conversational and reflective, with humour and landscape more important than instruction. Recurring subjects include bad weather, imperfect plans, fishing companions and the suspicion that the day matters even when the fish do not. His work fits fly-fishing literature, outdoor essays, nature writing and angling memoir. Read more Less
