Post Description

James Prosek has been called "the Audubon of the fishing world" by the New York Times.
A passionate fisherman and talented artist from a young age, he published two illustrated 
books on fish and fishing while still an undergraduate at Yale. After winning a traveling
fellowship to follow in the footsteps of Izaak Walton, The Compleat Angler became his 
obsession. He was fascinated by Walton, a humble man who won the friendship of kings,
and he was intrigued by the book's philosophies concerning the timelessness and immortality
that could be achieved by fishing. Although Walton was sixty when The Compleat Angler 
was published and Prosek only twenty when he set off to visit England, they each had traits
in common: a love of fishing and an extraordinary ability to make friends.

This is the story of a young man's pilgrimage through England, fishing the waters that are now 
privately held. Along with wonderful stories about good times, great fishing, and fine eating, this 
trip becomes an exploration of Waltonian ideals: how to live with humor, wisdom, contentment,
and simplicity.

The original watercolors complementing the text are wonderful. Like Walton's book, The Complete 
Angler is not about fishing but about life. Or rather, it is about fishing--but fishing is life.
