How to Think Like a Fish
How to Think Like a Fish: And Other Lessons from a Lifetime in Angling | Jeremy Wade
3 posts | 1 read
The star of the Animal Planet's River Monsters and author of the bestselling companion book shares a meditation on fishing--and life. In his previous book, Jeremy Wade memorably recounted his adventures in pursuit of fish of staggering proportions and terrifying demeanor: goliath tigerfish from the Congo, arapaima from the Amazon, "giant devil catfish" from the Himalayan foothills, and more. Now, the greatest angling explorer of his generation returns to delight readers with a book of a different sort, the book he was always destined to write -- the distillation of a life spent fishing. As Jeremy's catches attract increasing attention, many people ask him how they can improve their own fishing results. This book is his reply: part science, part art, and part elusive something else -- which is within every angler's ability to develop. Along the way you will learn when to let instinct override logic, which details are vital and which may be irrelevant, and how a "non result" can be a result. Thoughtful and funny, brimming with wisdom and, above all, adventure, these are pitch-perfect reflections that anyone who has ever fished will identify with, for ultimately they touch on the simple, fundamental principles that apply to all angling -- and to life.

For a newbie fly fishing nerd this book was a fun read. 12 hours later and I'm still going --- fireworks probably don't help though 🤔

Trying to upgrade my fly fishing skills this summer. Let's see if this book helps 🤷‍♂️🎣

Tamra I love reading beside the water while my husband fly fishes. Very peaceful. Plus, well there is the trout fried in bacon grease later......😆 (edited) 5y
MichaelK @Tamra absolutely! I'm new to fly fishing but I've been loving it! 5y
Tamra @MichaelK my husband does too - “flow state” thing. Where are you fishing? 5y
MichaelK @Tamra completely agree. You can't think of anything else since it takes such concentration. I'm fishing up in the catskills. 5y
Tamra @MichaelK beautiful! 5y
