About this product

Product Information

From the irrepressible author of Trout Bum and The View from Rat Lake comes an engaging, humorous, often profound examination of life's greatest mysteries: sex, death, and fly-fishing. John Gierach's quest takes us from his quiet home water (an ordinary, run-of-the-mill trout stream where fly-fishing can be a casual affair) to Utah's famous Green River, and to unknown creeks throughout the Western states and Canada. We're introduced to a lively group of fishing buddies, some local "experts" and even an ex-girlfriend, along the way. Contemplative, evocative, and wry, he shares insights on mayflies and men, fishing and sport, life and love, and the meaning (or meaninglessness) of it all.

I received the "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark" book on 8 December 2023 early within the original eBay estimated delivery date of 7-12 December 2023 tightly wrapped in a poly mailer slightly different than the listing page description with some damage to the spine and pages of the book. After messaging the seller I was generously refunded 50% of the book price. The book is intact with full content. This seller made extra efforts to make this a satisfactory purchase. Thank You!

    If you fly fish, want to, or just appreciate compelling composition, but this book for yourself and one for a friend.

    Read it years ago. Still scratches all the itches and finds more I’d forgotten.

    John Geirach Books

    All of John's books are excellent. It is pretty much an array of short storys of all his fishing trips and they are quite intertaining. An easy read and even a little informative. Helps me Learn the ART!!

    Sex, Death, and Flyfishing

    John Gierach is a very well versed writer, like Patrick McManus writes about past happenings. Mr. Gierach has a way of making his books fun filled, and very pleasant to read and enjoy. Every outdoor person whom enjoys fishing should have a few of his books in their collection.

    A great book about the Sport!!

    John Gierach always seems to touch on something every Fly Fisherman can relate to but dosen't hear from the average Fly Fishing Book author. This book is no exception.
