Description

This elegiac tribute to the art and pleasure of fly-fishing shows us why life's most valuable lessons are often found in the water. For John Gierach, fishing is always the answer, even when it's not clear what the question is.

As he travels around North America, seeking out quintessential fishing experiences, Gierach reflects on the art of fly-tying and the quest for the perfect steelhead fly. He shares stories of his adventures in the Presidential Pools, previously fished by George Bush, and the importance of traveling with like-minded companions.

Through it all, Gierach's passion and sense of humor shine through, making this book a joy to read. With its wry, contemplative tone, All Fishermen Are Liars is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever cast a line into the unknown.
