About this listen

Far from being a conventional 'how to' guide, this book is about the simple fundamental principles of fishing - a mind-set for success. In other words, how to think like a fish.

After starting to fish in rural England more than 50 years ago and going on to become a captor of large, wily carp in his teens, Jeremy Wade started combining angling with far-flung exploration in 1982 - a trip to northern India via Afghanistan in a plane that just weeks later was hit by a ground-to-air missile.

Since then Jeremy has caught an unparalleled array of large and outlandish fish from challenging locations all over the world, originally in seat-of-the-pants solo travels and more recently in the company of a TV crew.

Among the fish caught are a dozen freshwater species over the weight of 100 pounds, some of which were unknown even to anglers until recently. As these catches have come more to the public attention, many people have approached Jeremy about how they can improve their fishing results.

Fishing is about deception, so it has to engage the brain. It is an exercise in problem solving, where no two sets of circumstances are exactly the same, where success is an artful blend of drawing on experience and keeping an open mind.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Even if you aren't a fisherman/woman you will love the stories in this book. Yeah the fishing tackle section can be a bit boring unless you are going to use it but overall. Its a great book.
I have been watching Jeremy Wade for years on TV and could picture most of the catches he talks about and it was still enthralling.
The only problem with this book is its too short. I'd love to hear an autobiography from him.

Fantastic read

For a book that begins with the words "How to" it was a very aneamic and skint supply of tips, tricks and information about the behaviour of fish. For a fish scientist you would think there would be a cornucopia of things to do with how to improve ones fishing skill by understanding fish behaviour but this my friends is nothing more than a dramatised and pointless retelling of his own notable catches from the show in print.
If you are after a skill book in order to improve your fishing then look elsewhere.
I scored higher on performance purely because i enjoyed his reading voice but its a dud overall.

Incredibly Dissapointing
