"America's best fishing writer" (Houston Chronicle) returns with more
surprising, entertaining insights on fishing and on life, now in
paperback.In No Shortage of Good Days John Gierach takes readers from
the Smokies in Tennessee to his home waters in Colorado, from the
Canadian Maritimes to Mexico--saltwater or fresh, it's all fishing and
all irresistible. As always he writes perceptively about a wide range of
subjects: the charm of familiar waters, the etiquette of working with
new fishing guides, night fishing when the trout and the mosquitoes are
both biting, and fishing snobbery, a pitfall he seems to have largely
avoided: "A friend and I recently realized that making fly-fishing a way
of life instead of a hobby has made us a couple of pretty
one-dimensional characters. On the other hand, we agreed we're two of
the happiest people we know, albeit in a simple-minded sort of way."
Gierach again demonstrates the wit, eloquence, and insight that have
become his trademarks. No Shortage of Good Days is the next best thing
to a day of fishing.
