When it comes to fly fishing, simpler is better.

Modern-day fly fishing, like much in life, has become exceedingly complex, with high-tech gear, a confusing array of flies and terminal tackle, accompanied by high-priced fishing guides. This book reveals that the best way to catch trout is simply, with a rod and a fly and not much else.

The wisdom in this book comes from a simpler time, when the premise was: the more you know, the less you need. It teaches the reader how to discover where the fish are, at what depth, and what they are feeding on. Then it describes the techniques needed to present a fly at that depth, make it look lifelike, and hook the fish. With chapters on wet flies, nymphs, and dry flies, its authors employ both the tenkara rod as well as regular fly fishing gear to cover all the bases.

Illustrated by renowned fish artist James Prosek, with inspiring photographs and stories throughout, Simple Fly Fishing reveals the secrets and the soul of this captivating sport. Winner, Guidebooks, Banff Mountain Book Competition 2014

Introduction
By Yvon Chouinard

“Despite rumors to the contrary the paramount objective is to catch fish.”
Sheridan Anderson, The Curtis Creek Manifesto



Why write one more book about fishing when there probably have been more books written on the subject then there are romance novels?

Since the fifteenth century every nuance of the sport of fly-fishing has been written about in the utmost detail to the point where we are left to endlessly reinvent what has already been discovered. A tiny change on a classic fly and the “inventor” gets to name it after himself, and collect a dime for each one sold. Many of the books on technique are like business books where a minor theory is spread out to three hundred pages, when it really needs to be just an article in a magazine.

Heaven knows we fly fisherman are suckers for every new gizmo we think will give us a leg up on catching fish. We wear vests with twenty pockets and waders with even more storage; and as if that isn’t enough, we have lanyards, waist packs, and backpacks to carry even more impedimenta. Dozens of fly lines are available to us, yet I seriously doubt you will catch one more trout with a specific nymphing line than a classic double taper. The no-nonsense fly fisherman from Terrace, British Columbia, Rob Brown, looking over a steelheader’s array of fly boxes filled with hundreds of garish flies, said it best when he asked, “When did the green-butt stop working for you?”

I would offer that the proliferation of gear is supported by busy people who lack for nothing in their lives except time. Their “time-saving” communication devices, like tablets, Blackberries, and smart phones, make slaves of their owners. They are unwilling to put in the 10,000 hours needed to make themselves skillful fisherman, hunters, or mountain climbers. Instead, they load up with all the latest stuff and hire guides to do everything for them—including tying on the fly and releasing the fish so they don’t get their hands slimed. The guides have become enablers rather than teachers. How many bonefish would the average angler catch if they had to work out the tides, and wade and spot fish themselves, instead of waiting for a guide to bark, “ten o’clock, forty-foot cast now! Wait . . . strip . . . strip”? The guides leave the clients so insecure and unsure of themselves that they think that there must be some secret knowledge that only the guide knows.

The higher purpose of practicing a sport such as fly-fishing, hunting, or mountain climbing is to affect a spiritual and physical gain. If the process is compromised, there is no transformation.

Fishing with a fly can be such an incredibly complex and passionate sport that no one can fully master all the different disciplines in one lifetime. Some anglers will prefer to limit themselves to only fishing with dry flies, perfecting their casting, fly tying, or learning the Latin names and life history of all the insects. These can be legitimate endeavors in themselves, and there are untold books written about these subjects. This book is not one of them.

This is a book for the young person who has wanted to learn, but is intimidated by the complexity, elitism, and expense of the sport. He sees his father who owns multiple thousand dollar rods and reels, fishes only with guides at five hundred plus dollars a day plus mandatory tips, and flies all over the world to stay at luxury lodges. The son thinks, “this is not for me.”

It is also for the woman and her daughter, who are put off by the image of the testosterone fueled “rip-some-lips,” good old boy, bass and trout fisherman who has turned the “contemplative pastime” into a competitive combat sport.

This is also a book for the long time angler who has everything and wants to replace all that stuff with skill, knowledge, and simplicity. Who believes that a design, or piece of art, or a sporting endeavor, is finalized and mastered “not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away,” as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry advocated.

We may have reached a point in fly-fishing where there is nothing more of substance that can be added. Our vests are loaded down with so many fly boxes that we look like the Michelin Man. Our neck lanyards are so decked out with gizmos and beads that we may as well keep the top buttons of our shirts open so we can also attract Latin girls.

Maybe its time to look at the raked Zen sand garden with its three stones and see if we can convey the same powerful, evocative image of space and balance with only two rocks, or even one.

Most anglers soon discover simple fly-fishing helps preserve our capacity for wonder. It can teach us to see, smell, and feel the miracles of stream life, with the beauty of nature and serenity all around, as we pursue wild fish.

5,0 su 5 stelle Outstanding summary of what matters - and what doesn’t -to fly fish successfully
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 31 ottobre 2023
Acquisto verificato
I have been flyfishing for 4 decades. I read many books. This is by far the best written summary of knowledge and expertise that is available out there. It explains how to make sense of the incredible complexity of flies, set ups, techniques out there. It brings it all back to relatively simple guidelines to enjoy flyfishing to the next level. Very grateful to the authors.

5,0 su 5 stelle A “must have” for the new or seasoned angler
Recensito in Canada il 20 gennaio 2021
Acquisto verificato
Whether you are new to fishing or a seasoned angler, this book has something for everyone. I bought my first Tenkara rod 1/3 of the way into the book... I now have two Tenkara rods and bought one for my daughter as well.
It’s also a book you will go back to reference for a number of amazing tips, pointers, and even fly types for specific situations. Can’t say enough good things about this book.

5,0 su 5 stelle Great book about fly fishing in general, not just Tenkara
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 maggio 2019
Acquisto verificato
This is Tenkara-focused but still dives into methods and strategies for traditional fly rod/reel rigs. Great diagrams, beautiful pictures. I bought an extra copy and sent it to a friend who was interested in getting into fly fishing. Seems to be one of the best introductory books for fly fishing.

5,0 su 5 stelle A great guide to Tenkana
Recensito in Canada il 3 agosto 2020
Acquisto verificato
Anything involving Yves choinard, you know will have that depth beyond what fly to buy. Here we start to look why we fly fish and why tenkana might be the zen of minimalist fishing. Fantastic illustration and great stories
