Description
As only he can, John Gierach writes about the hard life of a brook trout in the Rockies ; bamboo versus graphite rods ; hog holes, secret streams, and poachers ; and, of course, the sport--or is it religion? --of fly-fishing. He fondly recalls learning to fish on the family farm pond ; fishing for gar ; fishing in the mountains during a late spring snow. As always with Gierach, all of it is richly observed and wryly described. -back cover.
