About this listen
An Affair with Grouse is entirely about ruffed grouse and grouse dogs reflecting the consecration of the man who wrote it, interests enhanced by drawing them and writing about them. Reminiscent of the days when one person used related crafts to create a book, it has been designed and shaped into a deluxe edition by one man and woman.
This is considered one of George Bird Evans’s true cult classics. It speaks to the passion, love, and romance of all things that encompass the art of grouse hunting over a pointing dog.

Following his English setters into thickets in search of grouse and woodcock, Mark Parman feels the pull of older ways and lost wisdom. How rare it is, in our high-tech world, to find oneself completely off the track, bewildered in the wild, and then find the path home by sight and scent and memory.

Once an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo. By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing. But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try.

Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much sense—except when it doesn't. In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he's been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierach's latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America.
