John Gierach is well known for his witty, trenchant observations about fly-fishing. In A Fly Rod of Your Own, Gierach once more needs us into his world and scrutinizes the art of fly-fishing. He trips to remote sportfishing locations where in fact the airport is very little bigger when compared to a garage area and a airline flight might be organized because a traveler is running late. He sings the praises of the skilled pilots who travel to remote sportfishing lodges in tough locations and bad weather. He clarifies why even the most veteran fisherman seems to muff his cast whenever he's being filmed or photographed. He identifies the all-but-impassable roads that fishermen always appear to come across at the best sportfishing spots and why fishermen discuss four-wheel drive vehicles almost as passionately and sometimes as they discuss travel rods and flies. And while he's on that subject matter, he clarifies why even the most conscientious fisherman always seems to collect more rods and flies than he could ever need. From Alaska to the Rockies and across the continent to Maine and the Canadian Maritimes, A Fly Rod of Your Own is an ode to the people who fish.
