Jeremy John Wade is a British television presenter, an author of books on angling, and a biologist. He is known for his television series River Monsters, Mighty Rivers, and Dark Waters. He is one of the most accomplished anglers of all time, having traveled the world and caught a multitude of different species of fresh and saltwater fish.
"Fear has a useful function: it concentrates the mind. And the appropriate reaction is to work to understand the thing that is causing the fear whether it’s a large fish or anything else. This way both parties are more likely to survive the encounter unscathed."
Jeremy Wade"We live in the information age where in theory everybody knows anything. You ask somebody where your fish comes from, they don’t know. You go, “Is that because you can’t tell me or because the system is designed to obscure that fact?” Which unfortunately is the case a lot of the time."
Jeremy Wade"The thing about rivers, is if you work with them, if you give them a little bit of help, it’s surprising how much they respond. And I think that is cause for hope. If we can just change our attitudes just a little bit, from being out-and-out exploitative to just sort of drawing back a little bit, and just giving them a little bit of thought and help… they do have this incredible regenerative power."
