Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.

"In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake, ' 'fish up to 13 pounds, ' 'the place the guides fish on their days off, '" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best--explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.

Some typically sage observations from The View from Rat Lake:

"One of the things we truly fish for is] an occasion for self-congratulation."

"In every catch-and-release fisherman's past there is an old black frying pan."

"We . . . believe that a 12-inch trout caught on a dry fly is four inches longer than a 12-inch trout caught on a nymph or streamer."

💦 a tall drink of water for your (clean) skin
If like me, you missed the cleansing oil that Beauty Counter made, this might be even better! The quality and consistency of this product leaves my skin feeling dewy, clean and you can tell it takes away the dead skin. I’m obsessed with how well it removes makeup — even sticky lash glue residue without feeling harsh. It leaves my skin with a plump appearance, full of moisture and smells like a fresh load of laundry. This is the only cleansing oil I’ve found that works as well as Beauty Counter - at a fraction of the price!

Very good cleaning oil
This cleansing oil is ideal for sensitive skin, I suffer from rosacea and I had no problem using it, neither dryness nor redness, the skin is hydrated, soft and very clean even when you remove the makeup, remove all the rest of it. I recommend it.

This product needs better instructions for people that don't know what a deep oil cleanser is!!
I am new to oil cleansers/double cleansing. I purchased this with the toner pads and serum thinking i was doing something. I ended up with staph on my chin and jaw, bc NOWHERE on here nor the bottle does it say this is only meant to be used ONCE A DAY, and washed off with a gentle cleanser afterwards. ALL instructions say rinse with water and then use the other items in the line. I damaged my skin barrier and wanted to hide away for over a month. HOWEVER, now that I have gone to the lengths of figuring out what happened and educating myself and using this product the correct way for a few days, I am seeing slight improvement already. Just make sure you know how to use a deep oil cleanser when buying this bc i didnt!!

Nice starter skin care set that refined pores for a smoother and brighter complexion
This cleansing oil was purchased and arrived as a 3pc set that I have purchased. Along with this cleansing oil, it also came with the toner and closer pore reducing serum. I have been incorporating all three products into my daily skin care routine/regimen. So cleanse, tone, then moisturized. This cleanser is very gentle, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed after cleansing, to prepped it before I apply the toner and follow up with the Closer pore reducing serum as the last step. Overall, I really like this set. The Close serum has a thicker consistency than my other serum, but it applies well and also seem to absorbed fairly quickly, so it doesn't leave my skin/face feeling sticky.
