Trout Hunting - The Pursuit of Happiness, by Bob Wyatt.
Wyatt gets to the heart of the matter in a book filled with fresh insights and challenges to conventional thinking. Well known to readers of Fly Fishing and Fly Tying magazine, Wyatt presents a wide ranging and entertaining investigation of some of fly-fishing's central mysteries such as the intelligence of trout, and whether they feel pain. Trout Hunting unpacks the theory of 'selective' trout, and takes the mystery out of fly choice. Trout Hunting will help get your strategies organized and inspire reflection on the nature of this fascinating pursuit.Ā
The author examines the nature of the experience - just what kind of activity is it? Although there's no doubt that fly-fishing is often the best way to catch our supper, if it was only about catching the fish the fly-fishing tradition probably wouldn't exist.Ā
In this book, the author takes a look at the sport's great tradition and argues that it is, after all, a form of hunting, and even a way to achieve a 'state of happiness'.
