A great post over at Sipping Emergers for anyone who aspires to be John Gierach, or who thinks their camp coffee is the best ever.

More Blood Knot Goodness

The Blood Knot Magazine: Throwback Issue is here.

Something tasty for everyone, and a great interview with John Gierach. Money quote:

     "I don't think snobbery has changed at all. It's simply an attempt to make yourself look good, not by being good, but by denigrating others. You know: I'm better than you because I...catch bigger fish, only use bamboo rods and dry flies, fish private water where riffraff like you aren't allowed. ...It has something to do with insecurity and unresolved feelings about your mommy."

Great Story. Can't Wait For Gierach's Version

Thanks to Matt over at Third Coast Fly for the heads up on this one. John Gierach and Scott Sadil in one boat  in one bad run of Oregon weather.
