Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends.

On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made.

This is the story of my guide service's biggest Lake Texoma striper. It held first place place from March 2015 all he way to May 2023.
