For someone with a vested interest in selling goods for exploring the great outdoors, Yvon Chouinard, the owner and founder of the outdoor-apparel company Patagonia, takes a surprisingly stripped-down approach to one of his favorite pastimes.

The centerpiece of the book launch is Patagonia's Simple Fly Fishing kit that comes with everything needed to get started: a tenkara-style fly fishing rod, box of flies, line and leader, quick set-up guide and a copy of the book. Throughout the month of April, Patagonia stores will host casting clinics and book signings with Patagonia Provisions tastings in the following areas: Ventura, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Seattle, Portland, Boulder, Denver, St. Paul, Dillon, Chicago, Freeport, Austin and Salt Lake City.

A portion of the proceeds from the book, which can be purchased separately, will be donated to various conservation organizations.
