Standing in a River Waving a Stick

With a dry wit and a proclivity for one-liners that prompted Sports Illustrated to compare him to Mark Twain, Gierach explores such matters as the difference between fishing in ponds and in streams; what makes a good fly pattern; the ethics of writing about undiscovered trout waters; and the fisherman's tendency to treat everything in life in terms of how it is either like or unlike fishing.
