While I wrestle the twin alligators of work and family obligations, here’s a little gem found on Moldy Chum; a short video interview with John Gierach (by these guys):
The Tom Waits music playing underneath obscures some of Gierach’s words, but almost anything having to do with Gierach is interesting, and not just because he’s fly fishing’s best-selling writer.
Given the trends in the fly fishing magazine world (they’re paying less than they were in the late 70s), Gierach might be the only — and possibly even the last — writer to make a <em>decent</em> living solely in the fly fishing space.
See you in the alligator pit, Tom Chandler.
Yup, there is more to life than money.

I agree with Gierach. It make no financial sense to try to make a living fishing, but it’s a good life if you love it!
Thanks for sharing this affirmation with us Tom.

I would suggest Mr. Gierach has a very distorted view as to what an “upper middle class living is”.
