Fool's Paradise (John Gierach's Fly-fishing Library)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.

If John Gierach is living in a foolâ€™s paradise, then itâ€™s a paradise that his regular readers will recognize and new fans will delight in discovering. Laced with the inimitable blend of wit and wisdom that have made him fly-fishingâ€™s foremost scribe, Foolâ€™s Paradise chronicles the fishing life in all its glory (catching your biggest fish ever) and squalor (being stranded in a tent during a soaking rainstorm). In Gierachâ€™s world, both experiences are valuable, and perhaps inevitable.

Fishermen everywhere will understand Gierachâ€™s quest to discover and explore new waters (and then not to divulge the best locations to anyone), the unlikely appeal of winter fly-fishing, or his dismay at encroaching development (â€œYou never get to point at a meadow full of browsing mule deer and say, â€˜You know, all this was once condos.â€™â€). Braving trips on small prop planes and down â€œOh-My-Godâ€ roads, Gierach and his fishing buddies pursue bull trout in British Collumbia, steelhead in the Rocky Mountains, and pike so fierce that a wise fisherman wears Kevlar gloves for the obligatory trophy photo.

Equal parts fishing lore, philosophy, and great fish stories, Foolâ€™s Paradise may not be a perfect substitute for actually being out on the water, but itâ€™s surely the next best thing.
