More Info:
In his first new book in three years, Gierach reflects on the delightful “torture” of fly fishing. He delves into the reasons behind the obsession with fishing, whether it’s for the thrill of the catch or the search for hidden, unmarked trout streams. With his humorous take on common fishing experiences—such as battling bad back pain or the effects of giardia—he offers insight into the little things that make fishing so compelling. Gierach takes us on a journey from the Smoky Mountains to his beloved Colorado home waters, exploring topics like fishing etiquette, the joy of cooking and eating fresh fish, and the joys of fishing in less-than-ideal conditions. Whether you fish for fun or are a seasoned angler, No Shortage of Good Days brings the experience to life.
