At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman Review

John Corrigan delivers another excellent book review, this time of Gierach’s At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman

, in the Concord (New Hampshire) Monitor

. “Gierach’s collections of essays usually include a chapter on a species generally not seen as a popular quarry for fly casters. In Unknown Fisherman he plays out his anti-snobbery inclinations with a description of carp. He writes that purists are offended by either the species or those with the audacity to fish for them.”
