Review from Amazon.Com
A Good Day's Reading. Another Day in Paradise was the
first of John Gierach's books that I read. After putting
it down, I could hardly wait to order another. Having
waded through quite a few flyfishing books in which
authors try to create highly sophisticated reasons for
the sport of flyfishing, it is good to read a book by
a man who believes that many people simply fish because
it is fun! Gierach writes with the fireside wit of outdoor
writer Gene Hill combined with the irreverance of Mark
Twain. I have read all of his books of humor, yet I
keep a copy of Another Day in Paradise in my car to
suffice during those many periods of waiting that occur.

Review from Amazon.Com
As one casts for trout with a modern high-tech rod,
line, leader and one of the zillion fly patterns now
available, it is easy to forget how far we have come
in the 250 or so years that fly fishing has been practiced
in North America, and yet how little things have really
changed in terms of the techniques used, concepts of
what constitutes necessary equipment, and the attitude
of serious endeavor that pervades all aspects of fly
fishing. Paul Schullery has complied an exhaustive volume
that takes the reader from old world origins of the
sport and how they influenced Colonial American fishing,
and in particular, fly fishing,to the advances in tackle
and techniques during the Victorian era, and finally
to our modern practices.

A rare portal to an untainted world of tranquil delight.
If you don't know about this famous book by the inimitable
Walton, you have a lot to look forward to. Purporting
to be an account of a 5-day gentlemen's fishing idyll
(when gentlemen were gentlemen, and the English countryside
was at once bountiful and near to hand), it is in fact
a deeply engaging nostalgia trip into a never-never
land of pastoral bliss which has no exact parallel in
world literature.....

Review from Amazon.Com
Babb is one hell of a writer, and Crosscurrents is about
more than just fish and antique split bamboo rods. It's
about one man's spiritual journey from his boyhood home
in the hills of East Tennessee to the lobsterman's life
in the cold North Atlantic, to the hills of Maine, where
he now resides. Plenty of adventures along the way,
unforgettable characters, cultural observations, literary
and historical allusions, and some really fine writing.
I've never thrown a dry fly in my life, but I loved
it, anyway.

Don't flyfish? Don't fish at all? It doesn't matter!
I'm an avid bass angler who has never done much flyfishing,
but after reading a good Gierach,(they're all great,)
I'm ready to head out to that little creek in Montana,
or that bass pond in Texas, or even Scotland with a
fly rod and join him. This was the first book of his
I read and now I'm on my fourth. I love how relaxed
and fun his writing is, and I, personally, can relate
to a lot of his views and feelings about things. Even
for the non-angler, John Gierach is alot of fun, even
if you have no idea what the heck a #14 Royal Wulff
is. If you're looking for some great reading, go with
Gierach.

Review from Amazon.Com
I splurged on this book without knowing anything about
John Gierach (sacrilege?), and felt like I'd discovered
America. As an inchoate fly-fisher, I found his stories
so exciting that every time I sat down to read it I
wanted to rush out to practice my casting in the hope
that one day, I too would have stories like these to
tell. I've found that many books by veteran fishermen
discourage me from trying to get my waders wet--this
book does the opposite (and I wonder if the author regrets
this response!).

This book has it all. It's funny, touching, beautifully
written, easy to read, contains life lessons - what
more could you want? And I don't even fly fish!!! Buy
it, read it, keep it, re-read it. I first read it years
ago, and keep buying copies as gifts.

If you've ever trout fished, this is a must. Gierach
has a wit and a love for nature like no one I have ever
read. Every story he tells is not only an incredible
experience, but most of the time a lesson well learned.
As I read along, I found myself wanting to be standing
streamside with John,A.K.,and the rest of the boys.
Although Gierach seems to have strong opinions, he doesn't
come off as "I'm right cause I wrote the book."
He is more of, "Here's what I think, you decide
for yourself." Thanks John, keep em coming.
