About this product

Product Information

Jeremy Wade has caught an unparalleled array of outsize and outlandish fish from challenging locations all over the world - goliath tigerfish from the Congo, arapaima from the Amazon, 'giant devil catfish' from the Himalayan foothills . . . As his catches attract increasing public attention, many people ask him how they can improve their own fishing results. This book is his reply. Sparse on the details of technique, it's about the simple, fundamental principles - a mindset for success. Part science, part art, and part elusive something else, this, he says, is within every angler's ability to develop. How to Think Like a Fishis the distillation of a life spent fishing. Along the way readers will learn when to let instinct override logic. Why less time can bring better results than more. 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 adventure, here is the book for any angler - novice or old hand - who wants to catch the fish that have so far eluded them.

The message: Dedication, thought, proper preparation are required for results.
It's a mix of observations, advice and some re-telling of some of the River Monsters stories. In terms of a detailed analysis of the conditions for fishing, Mike Thrussell is better (for sea fishing). In Jeremy's case the targets are not common fish, but exceptional specimens, so inevitably he has to spend long periods to achieve uncertain results, but he gives advice on maximizing chances for more ordinary fishermen to use. Much of this might be already known, some is common sense - but nevertheless is not always applied. For example, we all know that a good knot is important, but it's useful to be reminded that these need to be tested, practiced, to be second-nature, so you can tie it at night, tired, cold with different line thicknesses etc.
