Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-20 00:00:00 Wayne Garber I wouldn't call him a great philosopher by any means but he's a great writer, and most people can't tell the difference between that.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-23 00:00:00 Eric Wild Typical Gierach. Quality writing. Humorous and educational. Being from the part of Colorado where Gierach mainly honed his craft as a writer and an angler, I get varying reports about the man behind the books. Some good, some bad. I have learned not to judge an angler by his writing ability. There are many cats who write beautifully and can't fish for shit. The reverse also holds true. I no longer fly fish but I like a good fly fishing book. Gierach is one of the best fly casting authors we have. He was in the tackle shop I frequent (Bennetts in Berthoud) a few months back and I missed him by a day or so. He was buying steel leaders for a musky trip. Apparently he's not as much of a bamboo rod, dry-fly purist as he'd like us to believe. :) I'd like to talk to the guy so I can form my own opinion of the man instead of relying on second hand information from buddies that have met him and fished with him. Good read just the same.
