Carp Are Jerks

by Mark J Usyk, Jordan Ross (Foreword by)

Overview

From the self proclaimed "marginal" fly fisherman and author of Reflections of a Fly Rod comes a unique look at life and the left hooks it throws: A look straight down the barrel through the guides of a fly rod. Mark chases everything that swims... Trout, Bass, Steelhead, and every now and then when no one is looking, carp. But is he really chasing fish, or is it something more?

Editorial Reviews

They Aren't fishing stories. They're stories about life, where fishing happens. -Dale Coria, blue collar maintenance guy.

Even if you think you have no interest in fishing, you'll love this. It goes deeper than fishing. And it's excellent. -Melanie Lopata, author, editor (Get it Write Editiing)

Will you enjoy this book? well, with a line like "...as if it was a Rottweiler chasing a cat while dragging an old lady down the street still holding tight to the leash. Praying the cat either climbs a tree or has a heart attack and dies, because she knows there's no other way that dog is stopping." I'll just say this... a) Enjoy the ride. b) Bring a toothbrush to clean the bugs from your teeth, c) Hold On! This Rotty just spied a cat! -Les Booth, CIA, Editor/Publisher: Kype Media

Mark Usyk has a way of writing that makes you feel like you're not only reading about his adventures, but you become part of the adventures. -Charles N Cantella, author of "A Touch Of Grayling"
