Gierach at his best
Published by NoWhereMan , 2 months ago
Out of all the masterful books Gierach has written, this is my favorite. I’ve been fly fishing blue line streams for 4 decades now and he captured the essence of it, seemingly effortlessly. I only wish I could source it in hardcover, unfortunately I don’t believe it’s an option…
How to think about fishing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Gierach is very good at describing the mindset of fishing, and this book is a very good example. There is technical information and practical advice, to be sure, but the most valuable parts of the book are the descriptions of how to think, act, and feel about approach fish on a small stream. And of course, Gierach is a very entertaining writer.

All I do is fish small streams and this book rules.Anyone who doesn't think so isn't really a small stream person, but someone posing as a fly fisherman while it's a fad.I've been fishing small streams since I could walk and he has hit the heart of the subject perfectly.The book is perfectly balanced with humor,good stories and tons of practical and accurate advice-this is by far his best book-and the best book on the subject-PERIOD!BUY IT!!!!

This is the first of John's books that I have read. He has an easy going way of expressing himself. As I read this book it is almost like being there. One of the most enjoyable books I'v ever read. Looking foward to reading his others.

Not as light hearted, but, a very informative read
A "how-to" guide from a grand storyteller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Gierach gives a nut & bolts guide to flyfishing small water. While he doesn't spend much time spinning fishing tales, he does offer an extensive discussion of how he fly fishes - offering insight into the skills that he's built up on all those adventures he's told of in some of his more recent books
