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.
