My brother was an excellent fly-fisherman. He started tying flies when he was 10 years old. It looked too boring to me. But I’ve now read every book by fly-fishing author John Gierach for purposes of learning from and enjoying outstanding writing—as well as to bask in venerable, ex-hippie, rustic, Colorado mountain Americana—and letting Gierach’s life metaphors meticulously gathered from a lifetime of fly-fishing wash over me like a trout stream. I highly recommend his 23 books.
