I read this book a long time ago but an currently re-reading it. Gierach books are designed like that and there was a time when my mate Gordon and myself would drive to the local trout stream, Cd playing Blue Grass (Gordon was into banjo), and the none driver reading excerpts from Gierach. A great way to gear up for the fishing. Still I have been neglecting my Goodreads shelves and figured that now was as good a time as any to add this one. It isn't quite as good as some of the others perhaps but entertaining in a manner that is still vintage Gierach.
