Description
Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.
âIn the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: âremote trout lake,â âfish up to 13 pounds,â âthe place the guides fish on their days off,ââ 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 bestâexplain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake 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.
Some typically sage observations from The View from Rat Lake:
âOne of the things we truly fish for [is] an occasion for self-congratulation.â
âIn every catch-and-release fishermanâs past there is an old black frying pan.â
âWe . . . 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.â
