The New York Observer observed:
"Yale Golden Boy Lures the Big Fish"
"... 23-Year-Old Writer and Fly-Fisherboy James Prosek Charms Tom Brokaw, Howard Raines, Jann Wenner, Harold Bloom, George Bush"
There is something mystical about fishing for trout.
The stream itself is almost like an immortal entity- cyclical, always moving, flowing and changing. Everyone should have a passion which operates as a vehicle into and through life for them. Fishing, traveling to fish, and painting fishing scenery are my passion and my vehicle.
I like to teach people to fish. In the alternative, I like to pass on to people the skills that fishing teaches. These are essential components of success for life and work.
Because trout, in order to thrive, require pristine environments, I am able to take my clients to some of the most secluded, beautiful spots on earth.
Even when I'm training in an office building - instead of outside - the "hands on" aspect is essential. Using our hands in connection with our intellectual and creative abilities is immediately gratifying, validating, and grounding. It's something that many of us do not get to do often, yet it's essential to our overall well-being and success. - James Prosek

Prosek's second book, Joe and Me, sold over 40,000 copies and been released in Japan.
The New York Times, dubbed Prosek "The Audubon of the Fishing World".

Trout's success and literary acclaim in response to Joe and Me: An Education in Fishing and Friendship, resulted in a two-book contract with Harper Collins Publishers for Prosek. The Complete Angler: A Connecticut Angler Follows in the Footsteps of Walton was published in 1999. The second book in the series, Latitude 41, will be released later this year.
Since Yale graduation, James's continuing education has utilized unique world travels and enhanced fly fishing techniques- and now James uses these experiences to enrich the lives of his audiences.
And... James promises- the fly fishing equipment is really fun!
