Fly fishers of all stripes will understand perfectly- but Gierach writes so winningly about the joys and tribulations of the fly fishing life that even people who don’t fish will enjoy this newest collection of essays from “America’s best fishing writer” (Houston Chronicle).
In Dumb Luck and the Kindness of Strangers, John Gierach recalls his early experience moving to Colorado and buying his first resident fishing license. He asked when the fishing season opened, only to be told that it never actually ends; he could fish as long as he could stand to be outside. That, he says, is when he knew he had moved to the right place.
Fly fishers of all stripes will understand perfectly- but Gierach writes so winningly about the joys and tribulations of the fly fishing life that even people who don’t fish will enjoy this newest collection of essays from “America’s best fishing writer” (Houston Chronicle).
Gierach succinctly sums up the appeal of fly fishing as “an acquired taste that reintroduces the chaos of uncertainty back into our well-regulated lives.” Or, to put it a little differently, fly fishing my not be the perfect antidote to what is wrong with our world, but then again, what is?
