Once again, Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much sense—except when it doesn’t. In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he’s been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierach’s latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America. From fishing lodges in Alaska to memories of the local creek in the Midwest where he grew up, Gierach reminds us about the indispensability of the natural world around us. 5.5x8.4 inches, 224 pgs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Gierach is the author of more than twenty books about fly-fishing.

Instead, it distills fly fishing to its core: one shared fly tying ingredient, a handful of techniques, and a mindset that prioritizes knowledge, craft, and creativity over all else. The book includes 18 detailed fly recipes, with ingredients lists and step-by-step photos. Then they tell how to use this one type of fly to catch any kind of fish. In concise text, with instructional photos throughout and QR codes that link to how-to videos for tying and fishing with these flies, this book and its techniques force you to rely on your skills and to be creative to be successful.

Namely, rather than focus on body mechanics (arms do this, hands do that, etc.), I shifted and focused my entire casting methodology on working backwards from understanding what the line needed to do and then how to use your hand-eye coordination to do it. The goal here was to have the knowledge necessary to be able to cast using your own body and style rather than mimicking someone else’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-xf-p=\"1\"\u003eAfter several years of refinement in my head and a gradual integration into my teaching, around 2016, I first shared my new methodology, which I coined anchor-centric spey casting, at a spey clave on Washington’s Klickitat River put on by the Evening Hatch. Positive feedback encouraged me to continue my pursuit and refinement of the methodology. In the 2017.1 issue of Swing the Fly, I shared more publicly the basics of my anchor-centric methodology. After receiving some more touching feedback, the idea for a book entered my head. Here we are, six years, a lot of refinement and umpteen drafts of text and sketches later, and I’m finally ready to share the completed package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-xf-p=\"1\"\u003eMy own casting methodology has always been aimed at simplifying -- removing what's not necessary from my thoughts.
