What is Minimalist Fishing?
Minimalist Fishing is the careful accumulation of quality behaviors, knowledge, skill, technique and gear. Minimalist Fishermen catch more fish by constantly evaluating and optimizing what they do on and off the water. They believe wholesome experiences are more valuable than things, and keep only the tools that produce results while intentionally discarding the clutter.
What good is any tool, without the knowledge to use it?
What good is any weapon, without the experience to wield it?

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.
