2003-01-15 A book to cure the off-season blues

John Gierach hit the nail on the head with this collection of stories and I personnally think this is his best offering yet, along with Good flies. It is light-hearted and informative and makes you want to be at the waterside. Reading a book like this is the next best thing to actually fishing.

The story about 'Anyone's St. Vrain' is one that I can really connect with. If you have a favourite water then read this one. Sometimes fishing tales can get repetative but not this book. Gierach has a way of describing things in this book so that it draws the reader in.

If you are looking for a book of fishing tales then pick up John Gierach and I would suggest it was this one!

Be warned though, I have found these books to be addictive.
