About this ebook
From the irrepressible author of Trout Bum and The View from Rat Lake comes an engaging, humorous, often profound examination of life’s greatest mysteries: sex, death, and fly-fishing.
John Gierach’s quest takes us from his quiet home water—an ordinary, run-of-the-mill trout stream where fly-fishing can be a casual affair—to Utah’s famous Green River, and to unknown creeks throughout the Western states and Canada. Along the way, he encounters an unforgettable group of fishing buddies, some self-proclaimed local experts, and even an ex-girlfriend.
Contemplative, evocative, and wry, he shares insights on mayflies and men, fishing and sport, life and love, and the meaning—or meaninglessness—of it all.
