All Fishermen Are Liars by John Gierach
"America's best fishing writer" shows us why life's most valuable lessons-and some of its best experiences-are found while fly-fishing.
“All Fishermen Are Liars is rich in the savvy, humor, and sidelong takes on our sport that have made all of John’s books such addictive reading” -- Paul Schullery, author of If Fish Could Scream and The Fishing Life
“From the early days . . . to his present cult status, [Gierach’s] candor and canniness at the water’s edge have been consistent. . . . [His] grizzled, laconic persona is engaging. . . . The voice of the common angler.” -- David Profumo * The Wall Street Journal *
“A reader can learn a whole lot about fishing—and about life—than they might have expected reading this book.” -- Kate Whittle * The Missoula Independent *
“John Gierach remains the most consistently eloquent fly fishing writer of modern times.” -- James R. Babb, Editor, Gray’s Sporting Journal
“John Gierach is one of the most successful fishing writers of all time, and with good reason. In his 17th book, Gierach reminds us in a delightful way that fishing never has been just about catching, though he can teach us a lot about that, too. . . . Despite taking trips as a famous angler to exotic fishing locales, Gierach has retained his down-to-earth fishing honesty and has never forgotten that some of the best stories are about wading a trout stream just down the road.” -- David Shaffer * Minneapolis Star Tribune *
“[Gierach's] writing here is unfailingly witty, generous of spirit and full of hard-won but easily shared knowledge. . . . It goes without saying that Gierach is a masterful storyteller, but what's even more obvious after reading Liars is that he is a profoundly skilled writer.” -- Steve Duda * The Flyfish Journal *
“A fisherman’s testimony to the faithful. . . . [An] Elegiac tribute to the elusive art and ineffable pleasure of fly-fishing, with plenty of information about how it’s done by true practitioners.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“Perceptive and witty. . . . These lyrical essays explode with descriptions of beautiful places, big fish, and beautiful fish. . . . But Gierach can write about more than trout and salmon.” * Booklist *
“Yet another Gierach masterpiece and well worth a read, even if you aren't into fishing.“ -- David Keene * The Washington Times *
