How to Think Like a Fish: And Other Lessons from a Lifetime in Angling, Paperback/Jeremy Wade

The defining part of this story, I think--the part that made the real difference--is the time I spent looking into the water, letting my mind drift, as I tried to think like a fish...What brings the big fish is an artful blend of drawing on experience and keeping an open, active mind. The secret ingredient is as simple as that. --from Chapter 6 Jeremy Wade , the star of Animal Planet's River Monsters , with nearly forty years of angling exploration behind him, shares a meditation on the art of angling--part science, part art, and part elusive something else. Thoughtful and funny, brimming with wisdom and, above all, adventure, How to Think Like a Fish is filled with reflections that anyone who has ever fished will identify with, for ultimately they touch on the fundamental principles that apply to all angling--and to life: Less time can be more. Listen to your gut. Be inventive. You may only get one opportunity, so make that opportunity count.
