Description
This âelegiac tribute to the elusive art and ineffable pleasure of fly-fishingâ (Kirkus Reviews) shows us why lifeâs most valuable lessonsâand some of its best experiencesâare found while fly-fishing.
For John Gierach, âthe master of fly-fishingâ (Sacramento Bee), fishing is always the answerâeven when itâs not clear what the question is. In All Fishermen Are Liars, Gierach travels around North America seeking out quintessential fishing experiences, whether itâs at a busy stream or a secluded lake hidden amid snow-capped mountains. He talks about the art of fly-tying and the quest for the perfect steelhead fly (âThe Nuclear Optionâ), about fishing in the Presidential Pools previously fished by the elder George Bush (âI wondered briefly if Iâd done something karmically disastrous and was now fated to spend the rest of my life breathing the exhaust of this elderly Republicanâ), and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions when caught in a soaking rain (âAt this point someone is required to say, âYou know, there are people who wouldnât think this is funââ). And though Gierach loses some fish along the way, he never loses his passion and sense of humor.
Wry, contemplative, and livelyâthat is to say, pure GierachâAll Fishermen Are Liars is a joy to readâand, as always, the next best thing to fishing itself. âFrom the early daysâŠto his present cult status, Gierachâs candor and canniness at the waterâs edge have been consistentâŠHis grizzled, laconic persona is engaging and the voice of the common anglerâ (The Wall Street Journal).
