In "All the Time in the World", John Gierach travels from Alaska to Labrador in pursuit of fish both familiar and unusal. He has much to say about flies, from the Elk Hair Caddis to the Pheasant Tail dropper, and shares with us "The Sudden Inch" maneuver and the function of the flapdoodle. As always, he displays his inimitable sense of humor, describing a stray dog "working the crowd for handouts like a Southern politician" and explaining that the pandemic didn't affect his people because "fishermen are all ABOUT social distancing".
Gierach's books are like that proverbial trout stream- there is a sense of familiarity but also the surprise of discovery and the flash of sudden insight. With his evocative descriptions of the natural world and his sharp, witty observations about the fishing life and life in general, Gierach shows us that the best fishing stories are often about more than fishing.
"All the Time in the World" is an appreciation of the wonder of nature and the camaraderie of old friends who won't contradict your fishing stories. And, as Gierach says, "If fishing teaches you anything, it's how to shrug off failure and cast again."
John Gierach is the author of more than twenty books about fly fishing. His writing has appeared in Field and Stream and Gray's Sporting Journal, and he is a columnist for Trout magazine and the Redstone Review. He was inducted into the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame in 2015. He lives in Larimer County, Colorado, with his longtime partner Susan McCann, and the latest in a long line of cats.
