Trout and Company

The chronicles in this collection let us smell the aroma of bivouac coffee, glimpse the pure water of great trout rivers, and share long fishing outings among friends. At once a fishing manual, adventure story and philosophical treatise, they interweave in an intimate cartography that tells us as much about people and their laughable foibles as about fly fishing. John Gierach thus takes his place in the great tradition of angler-writers who, from Ernest Hemingway to Jim Harrison or John D. Voelker, have composed some of the finest pages of American literature. Our favourite angler-writer at his best. - 256 pages
