All Fishermen Are Liars (John Gierach's Fly-fishing Library)

This â€œelegiac tribute to the elusive art and ineffable pleasure of fly-fishingâ€ (Kirkus Reviews) shows us why lifeâ€™s most valuable lessonsâ€”and some of its best experiencesâ€”are found while fly-fishing.

For John Gierach, â€œthe master of fly-fishingâ€ (Sacramento Bee), fishing is always the answerâ€”even when itâ€™s not clear what the question is. In All Fishermen Are Liars, Gierach travels around North America seeking out quintessential fishing experiences, whether itâ€™s at a busy stream or a secluded lake hidden amid snow-capped mountains. He talks about the art of fly-tying and the quest for the perfect steelhead fly (â€œThe Nuclear Optionâ€), about fishing in the Presidential Pools previously fished by the elder George Bush (â€œI wondered briefly if Iâ€™d done something karmically disastrous and was now fated to spend the rest of my life breathing the exhaust of this elderly Republicanâ€), and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions when caught in a soaking rain (â€œAt this point someone is required to say, â€˜You know, there are people who wouldnâ€™t think this is funâ€™â€). And though Gierach loses some fish along the way, he never loses his passion and sense of humor.

Wry, contemplative, and livelyâ€”that is to say, pure Gierachâ€”All Fishermen Are Liars is a joy to readâ€”and, as always, the next best thing to fishing itself. â€œFrom the early daysâ€¦to his present cult status, Gierachâ€™s candor and canniness at the waterâ€™s edge have been consistentâ€¦His grizzled, laconic persona is engaging and the voice of the common anglerâ€ (The Wall Street Journal).
