It is a warm, entertaining collection of fly-fishing essays that celebrates the many pleasures of life on the water. With his trademark humour, honesty and relaxed storytelling, Gierach explores fishing trips, memorable rivers, trout, fellow anglers and the unexpected experiences that make time spent fishing so rewarding. Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of angling, he reflects on the atmosphere, anticipation and personal satisfaction that come with pursuing fish in beautiful natural surroundings. For fly fishers, this book offers an appreciation of the experiences that make the sport so compelling, from exploring unfamiliar waters and adapting to fishing conditions to enjoying the companionship and solitude that come with a day outdoors. Gierach's observations encourage readers to look beyond the catch and recognise the value of patience, curiosity and simply being on the river. His engaging essays will appeal to anglers who enjoy fishing literature that combines practical familiarity with the sport, personal reflection and plenty of humour. Excellent condition. Softcover, 22cm x 14cm, 210 pages.
