Yvon Chouinard spoke at MSU about his brand-new book, “Pheasant Tail Simplicity: Recipes and Techniques for Successful Fly Fishing” (Courtesy: Montana State University)
Simpleness has actually been at the heart of Yvon Chouinard’s approach for a very long time, and it was a message he continued to hammer home at a current look at Montana State University in Bozeman:
While fly stores overflow with countless patterns created to separate anglers from their cash, Chouinard invested a year showing you can capture fish throughout the world with variations of simply one fly.
Chouinard, who resides in Moose and often fishes the Snake River, captured bonefish, steelhead, salmon and trout in numbers equivalent to what he ‘d constantly captured– from Montana to Patagonia– utilizing just pheasant tail patterns.
” It’s not the equipment, it’s what you finish with it,” he stated.
