From the Pacific Northwest to the Upper Midwest to the Canadian Maritimes, âAmericaâs best fishing writerâ (Houston Chronicle) shows us why lifeâs most valuable lessonsâand some of its best experiencesâare found while fly-fishing.
âI have to go fishing; itâs my job.â John Gierach can say that and mean it. But fishing is only part of his job. The other part is writing about his fishing adventures. And thatâs the part we readers get to enjoy.
In All Fishermen Are Liars, Gierach travels across North America from the Pacific Northwest to the Canadian Maritimes to seek out quintessential fishing experiences. Whether heâs fishing a busy stream or a secluded lake amid snow-capped mountains, Gierach insists that fishing is always the answerâeven when itâs not clear what the question is. All Fishermen Are Liars covers fishing topics large and small: the art of fly-tying and the quest for the perfect steelhead fly; fishing in the Presidential Pools previously fished by the first President George Bush; and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions when caught in a soaking downpour. (âAt this point someone is required to say, âYou know, there are people who wouldnât think this is fun.ââ)
Gierach may occasionally lose a fish, but he never loses his passion for fishing or his sense of humor. All Fishermen Are Liars proves yet again that lifeâs most valuable lessonsâand some of its best experiencesâ can be found while fly-fishing.
