About this listen

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.

"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 thirteen 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. The View from Rat Lake 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.

Great book! Just like his others, Trout Bum especially! The audio book performance is like sitting beside the campfire with a long lost brother talking fishing. An absolute must for fishing road trips!

Entertaining book for all fly fisherman. Heavy emphasis on Colorado locations in this one. JG is great as usual and Colacci is the perfect narrator for his stories.

Classic Gierach
