Overview
For John Gierach, āthe master of fly-fishingā (Sacramento Bee), fishing is always the answerāeven when itās not clear what the question is. In All Fishermen Are Liars, Gierach travels around North America seeking out quintessential fishing experiences, whether itās 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 (āThe Nuclear Optionā), about fishing in the Presidential Pools previously fished by the elder George Bush (āI wondered briefly if Iād done something karmically disastrous and was now fated to spend the rest of my life breathing the exhaust of this elderly Republicanā), and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions when caught in a soaking rain (āAt this point someone is required to say, āYou know, there are people who wouldnāt think this is funāā). And though Gierach loses some fish along the way, he never loses his passion and sense of humor.
Wry, contemplative, and livelyāthat is to say, pure GierachāAll Fishermen Are Liars is a joy to readāand, as always, the next best thing to fishing itself. āFrom the early daysā¦to his present cult status, Gierachās candor and canniness at the waterās edge have been consistentā¦His grizzled, laconic persona is engaging and the voice of the common anglerā (The Wall Street Journal).
