Download Fool's Paradise AudioBook Free
If John Gierach is moving into a fool's paradise, then it's a paradise that his regular listeners will acknowledge and new enthusiasts will take pleasure in discovering. Laced with the inimitable blend of wit and intelligence which may have made him fly-fishing's most important scribe, Fool's Heaven chronicles the sportfishing life in every its glory (finding your biggest seafood ever) and squalor (being stranded in a tent throughout a soaking rainstorm). In Gierach's world, both experiences are valuable, and perhaps inevitable. Fishermen almost everywhere will understand Gierach's quest to discover and explore new waters, the unlikely selling point of winter fly-fishing, or his dismay at encroaching development. Braving excursions on small prop planes and down "oh-my-God" highways, Gierach and his sportfishing buddies pursue bull trout in Uk Columbia, steelhead in the Rocky Mountains, and pike so brutal that a smart fisherman wears Kevlar gloves for the obligatory trophy photo. Equal parts sportfishing lore, idea, and great seafood stories, Fool's Heaven might not exactly be a perfect replacement for actually being out on the, but it's surely the next best thing.
