A look back to the long-ago day when the author bought his first resident fishing license in Colorado, where the fishing season never ends, and he just knew he was in the right place. The voice of the common angler (The Wall Street Journal), he offers witty, trenchant observations not just about fly-fishing itself but also about how ones love of fly-fishing shapes the world that we choose to make for ourselves. 5.5×8.4 inches, 224 pgs.
Witty, shrewd, and, as always, a joy to read, John Gierach, Americas best fishing writer (Houston Chronicle) and favorite streamside philosopher, extols the frequent joys and occasional tribulations of the fly-fishing life.
After five decades, twenty books, and countless columns, [John Gierach] is still a master (Forbes). Now, in his latest fresh and original collection, Gierach shows us why fly-fishing is the perfect antidote to everything that is wrong with the world.
Gierachs deceptively laconic prose masks an accomplished storyteller…His alert and slightly off-kilter observations place him in the general neighborhood of Mark Twain and James Thurber (Publishers Weekly). In Dumb Luck and the Kindness of Strangers, Gierach looks back to the long-ago day when he bought his first resident fishing license in Colorado, where the fishing season never ends, and just knew he was in the right place. And he succinctly sums up part of the appeal of his sport when he writes that it is an acquired taste that reintroduces the chaos of uncertainty back into our well-regulated lives.
Lifelong fisherman though he is, Gierach can write with self-deprecating humor about his own fishing misadventures, confessing that despite all his experience, he is still capable of blowing a strike by a fish in the usual amateur way. The voice of the common angler (The Wall Street Journal), he offers witty, trenchant observations not just about fly-fishing itself but also about how ones love of fly-fishing shapes the world that we choose to make for ourselves.
