Book Description
This book is the seventh in a series written by Jake Bussolini. Because of the positive response received from his previous books, Jake took the advice of many of his readers and extracted the many interesting and sometimes controversial subjects from his past books, did a great deal of updating on his research and packaged the new material into this book. Many of the subjects in this book are truly controversial for many experienced anglers who have been using the same angling techniques and fishing myths for most of their life. The author has examined each of these myths, performing detailed tests where needed to prove that scientifically, the myths are no longer valid and may never have been. The title of this book, Fishing Different implies that the book contains discussions of different and unique ways to approach the sport that will make the angling experience more interesting and of course, more successful for all anglers of all ages. To make the reading experience more interesting the author has used history and historical events to support his theories and processes. This is a unique way to increase the reading enjoyment of this book.

Book Description
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.
