John Gierach died

[caddisflyer]

One of a very few authors who made me laugh out loud when reading his books.

Sad news, although I've never met I felt like I knew him through his writings.

Was the article he wrote about fishing during COVID in "TROUT" magazine the last thing he wrote? I'll need to tell the boys to hang onto the magazine.

I'm sure he had stuff done and ready in the pipeline. Will we see it or not is the question. He was married to a journalist so hopefully she will be able to release it.

My wife (a non-fisherperson) would often take my Trout magazine and read his articles. She really liked how he told stories, a particular favorite was from Fall 2023. The story was Halloweenesque with pumpkins.
I have a box full of them with his articles. Hopefully if any unpublished works remain, they eventually see the light of day.

“The real truth about fly-fishing is, it is beautiful beyond description in almost every way, and when a certain kind of person is confronted with a certain kind of beauty, they are either saved or ruined for life, or a little of both.”
