John Gierach: Interviewed | Blood Knot Magazine: "Definitely fly fishing authors—psychiatrists tend to over-groom and come off looking prissy. As a fashion statement we prefer the un-pruned shrub approach, leaving the impression that we haven’t so much grown beards as just permanently forgotten to shave. In my case that’s not far wrong."
