Somebody's Video Interview of John Gierach

By Tom Chandler 8/31/2011

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.

As the author of the decade leading fly fishing blog Trout Underground, Tom believes that fishing is not about measuring the experience but instead of about having fun. As a staunch environmentalist, he brings to the Yobi Community thought leadership on environmental and access issues facing us today.

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

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.

Yup, there is more to life than money.
