After reading a dozen of his books, I still look forward to his next one.. Be it on the stream, in the truck on the way to the stream, or just listening to him describe a setting or unique personality; I always feel like I am standing next to him as I read the stories. Especially now, when we are all quarantined in our homes (here in Washington they have even closed fishing season!). Just the escape I needed! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In his latest fresh and original collection, Gierach shows us why fly-fishing is the perfect antidote to everything that is wrong with the world. In Dumb Luck and the Kindness of Strangers, Gierach looks back to the long-ago day when he bought his first resident fishing license in Colorado, where the fishing season never ends, and just knew he was in the right place. And he succinctly sums up part of the appeal of his sport when he writes that it is "an acquired taste that reintroduces the chaos of uncertainty back into our well-regulated lives." Lifelong fisherman though he is, Gierach can write with self-deprecating humor about his own fishing misadventures, confessing that despite all his experience, he is still capable of blowing a strike by a fish "in the usual amateur way." He offers witty, trenchant observations not just about fly-fishing itself but also about how one's love of fly-fishing shapes the world that we choose to make for ourselves.
