Fly-Fishing the 41st: Around the World on the 41st Parallel

“James Prosek has
eloquently demonstrated that angling is a kind of universal language. . . . he
has taken us on an unforgettable journey.” —
Thomas McGuane, author of The Cadence of Grass and The Longest Silence: A Life
in Fishing

The New York Times has called
James Prosek "the Audubon of the fishing world," and in Fly-Fishing
the 41st, he uses his
talent for descriptive writing to illuminate an astonishing adventure.
Beginning in his hometown of Easton, Connecticut, Prosek circumnavigates the
globe along the 41st parallel, traveling through Spain, Greece, Turkey,
Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, China, and Japan. Along the way he shares some of the best
fishing in the world with a host of wonderfully eccentric and memorable
characters.

James Prosek is a writer and artist. Dubbed “the Audubon of the fishing world” by the New York Times, his books include Trout, The Complete Angler, and Fly-Fishing the 41st. He lives in Easton, Connecticut.
