<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.</b> <p/>"In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake, ' 'fish up to 13 pounds, ' 'the place the guides fish on their days off, '" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best--explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. <i>The View from Rat Lake</i> deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip. <p/>Some typically sage observations from <i>The View from Rat Lake</i>: <p/>"One of the things we truly fish for [is] an occasion for self-congratulation." <p/>"In every catch-and-release fisherman's past there is an old black frying pan." <p/>"We . . . believe that a 12-inch trout caught on a dry fly is four inches longer than a 12-inch trout caught on a nymph or streamer."<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Gierach is the author of more than twenty books about fly-fishing. His writing has appeared in <i>Field & Stream, Gray's Sporting Journal</i>, and <i>Fly Rod & Reel</i>. He writes a column for <i>Trout </i>magazine and the monthly <i>Redstone Review</i>. He lives in Lyons, Colorado.
