Carps are Jerks by Mark Usyk

Life, fish, and everything in between—from the guy who swears he’s only marginally good at fly fishing.   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 view straight down the barrel through the guides of a fly rod. Mark Usyk chases everything that swims… trout, bass, steelhead, and every now and then, when no one’s looking—carp. But is he really chasing fish, or something more? A collection of thoughtful, humorous, and relatable short stories For anglers, adventurers, and anyone who knows life’s not just about the catch Written in Mark Usyk’s signature voice: self-deprecating, observant, and honest Ideal for fishing cabins, nightstands, and back pockets Specs: Softcover 222 pages 6” x 9”
