Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to 13 pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best -- explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. <I>The View from Rat Lake</I> deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip. <P> Some typically sage observations from <I>The View from Rat Lake</I>: <BR> "One of the things we truly fish for [is] an occasion for self-congratulation." <BR> "In every catch-and-release fisherman's past there is an old black frying pan." <BR> "We...believe that a 12-inch trout caught on a dry fly is four inches longer than a 12-inch trout caught on a nymph or streamer." 201219 15 5 1988 View From Rat Lake
