And Burt Spiller wrote "Fishin' Around." A really good read.
Gierach is one of my favorites! I have several of his books - he's really an independent cuss... a lot like many of us.
One of my favorite Gierach quotes came from one of his stories where he nosed his old pickup truck in against the curb in one of those little Colorado recently 'yuppified' towns and a young woman on the curb started berating him for the shotgun in the rack in his back window.... "That's no shotgun lady - that's a Parker!" was his terse reply.
