(he beauty of fish in Tmui: An Illustrated History a collection of essays and vibrant walcrcolors that chronicles the history of 70 different varieties of North American trout The book published hy Alfred A Knopf Ine this spring is already in its third printing It has given Yale University senior sudden status the 2 year-old as a trout expert The New York Times dubbed Prosck “a fair hid lo become the Audubon of the fishing world” while Sports Illustrated said his hook has already become a standard reference for anglers All this attention doesn't seem to have affected Prosck To him fishing is still as simple as an afternoon in a cool stream “To hold a trout or lo see a trout in the water or in my hand is beautiful" he says “There's nothing else like it” Prosek's fascination with fish started when he was 9 when a friend from schixil took him lo catch snappers in the Long Island Sound He was soon going fishing nearly every day at ponds streams and rivers near his family home in Easton In those days he fished mostly for bass and pickerel but a few years later when he was IS a friend introduced him to trout It was love at first sight “My friend told me there was a stream that had wild trout I didn’t believe him because trout had this sort of mystical quality" he said “When I caught one I couldn’t believe it” Prosck got caught himself one day while he and his friend were fishing illegally at the Aspctuck Reservoir in Easton Joseph Haines a warden for Bridgeport Hydraulic Co was out patrolling looking for poachers when he spotted Prosck and his friend He gave them both written warnings hut noticing Prosek's enthusiasm decided to take him under his wing “I said ‘James I want you lo start fishing legally Never mind this business of sneaking in because you’re going to get in trouble’ ” recalled Haines 59 who started teaching Prosck about fishing “From then on it caught on and I could hardly get rid of him” said Haines “Now he's gone way beyond what I can help him with lie’s really a master now” Prosck started drawing when he was 5 often sketching birds from Audubon books his father would bring home Although his father had hoped his son would share his love of birds the young Prosck chose fish instead The fusion of fish and art began after Prosek’s father showed him a picture of a blucback trout in 1 -- BEETLE BAILEY HAGAR THE HORRIBLE PEANUTS Yankee magazine The blucback which was on the verge ol extinction in northern Maine intrigued Prosck so he went to the library lo look lot an aullioiitative reference book on Iroui lie couldn't find one So lie decided lo write and paint a liistoiy of trout himself He begun writing to fish and wildlilc ollicials across the country compiling a list and slum histories of close lo 70 species subspecies and some extinct varieties of trout In his freshman year at Yule Prosck sent his Ixxik proposal oil lo 10 publishers Knopl ottered him a contract and he began meticulously painting each of the fish The hook published in April is a trout lovci's handbook It features a written history ol each xui ely along with a colorful detailed painting There is the Apache trout once regauled as sacred hy the Apache but diivcn to the brink of extinction by overfishing and hyhridiation Piosck explains Then there is the sleelhead trout which Prosck descrilxes as “one of the most rcxcicd of all game fish" found mostly along the Pad lie ( oast And every oilier Norlh American vaiiclv no matter how rare or common Prosck has traveled (he United States and I mope in search of new fishing experiences lie’s

has (rouble explaining his luxe of fishing and especially (rout Bui on a hoi weekday afternoon this summer Prosek waded into a shallow rock-- 1 illcd area of Mill River and couldn't slop talking about why lie is a fisherman “I like the streams There’s something about moving water that gels my blood flowing It could Ik that (here's an immortal quality lo moving water You can kind of lose yourself in it “And catching a fish (hat I've been trying to catch for an hour there's a feeling ol triumph “The casting is a hig part of the beauty lor me'' he said “It takes quite a hit of skill lo pul the llv right where the fish is going to he lie" But there were no Iroui hiling this day “Not a good time of year for trout" Prosek assured his visitors This summer Prosek spent three weeks traveling throughout England following in the footsteps of Sir laak Walton the author of I lie Compleut Aiifiler" still considered the fisherman's biblc Prosck who fished in the same streams as Walton is making the trip the subject of his senior essay lie's currently working on a second Ixiok about fishing this one focusing on his relationship with Haines his fishing mentor At this point in his life there's only one thing Prosek likes better than trout — women But even that’s a tough call “Trout arc more dependable” he said laughing “And trout don’t talk hack” 17th-centu- Names in the news agreement with
