Welcome. This site is a living journal filled with fishing notes & tips. It’s a place for anglers to discuss Minimalist Fishing. Join us, and develop better behaviors so you can catch more fish with less frustration.
What is Minimalist Fishing?
Minimalist Fishing is the careful accumulation of quality fishing behaviors, knowledge, skill, technique and gear. Things that do not provide genuine value & results are freely – intentionally – discarded. Minimalist Fishermen catch more fish by constantly evaluating and optimizing what they do on and off the water. They keep what works, and toss what doesn’t.

A Minimalist Fisherman continuously evaluates every aspect of their fishing gear, knowledge and skill. They quickly discard things that do not provide real value. “Value” is defined by you, the fisherman.
Minimalist Fishermen will seek out the most important presentations, the most essential tools, the most meaningful knowledge and the most significant skills to efficiently master their craft. This process inevitably leads to more successful days on the water, and more fish in the boat.
These concepts have helped me in many ways, and I know they can help you as well. If you have a question, just ask. If you’d like to read something a bit more personal, here’s an article from when I started The Minimalist Fisherman.
Tight Lines & Godspeed, Patriots.
