(Description) 1st Printing, with the 1st Issue dust jacket, with the spinning reel silhouette. (Synopsis) John Gierach's latest masterwork of streamside philosophy is a witty account of all that makes fishing unique & addictive. In Still Life with Brook Trout, he gives us more of the witty, poignant, and beguiling ruminations that only he seems capable of making, reminding us once again that there's so much more to fishing than rods and reels.
