A Fly Rod of Your Own by John Gierach

John Gierach, “the voice of the common angler” (The Wall Street Journal) and member of the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame, returns with his signature wit, wisdom, and sharp eye for the quirks of the fishing life. In A Fly Rod of Your Own, Gierach explores what makes anglers tick—from the joys and frustrations of travel to the irresistible urge to buy just one more fly rod. His blend of humor, storytelling, and insight reminds us why fly fishing is as much about life as it is about catching fish.

More Information: Gierach takes readers to remote fishing outposts where airstrips double as gravel driveways, flights are delayed for late passengers, and muddy backroads always seem to lead to the best water. With his trademark dry humor, he muses on everything from eccentric bush pilots to the futility of keeping gear collections under control. He captures the shared obsession and camaraderie of anglers everywhere—those who “already get it,” as he puts it, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
