 Exactly What I Was Looking For September 9, 2004

The Complete Guide to Freshwater Fishing fits my bill very nicely. The book is divided into neat chapters on gear, rigging, and the common types of freshwater fish found in North American lakes and streams.
Each of the "fish chapters" (trout, bass, pike, etc.) has an impressive discourse on the fish itself, its habits, habitation, and how and where to best catch them.
The gear and tackle chapters teach all one needs to know about the different types of bait, lures, flies, knot-tying and other mechanics of the sport which are necessary if one is going to do more than catch sunnies with bread-balls.
Well written in short, clear prose, the book is fabulously illustrated with color pictures, charts, graphs, maps and other visuals which really explain both fish and fishing.
This is an excellent guide for both new and experienced fresh water fishers.
Excellent introduction to fishing April 1, 2009
G (boston, ma United States)
This book is a good, solid reference for most things to do with fishing. Experienced anglers won't benefit as much from this book since it seems targeted more for beginners and folks with modest levels of fishing experience. That's not to say there won't still be some beneficial tips or knowledge for experienced people, however. They will just receive less benefit from this book.
Overall, it covers the major areas of fishing - gear, techniques, boat control, structure, seasonal movements, etc. It illustrates a few useful knots to cover the most common situations, but is a little weak in that area. It contains lots of clear photos and is a great book to get one started on the fine sport of fishing. The text is simply written and clearly explains the basic concepts.
This book is worth EVERY penny! November 15, 2004

After searching the net and bookstores for months, I came across this book. It is THE best book on fishing you will find period. The pictures are amazing, but the information it provides is by far the best part. It tells you HOW to fish for every kind of freshwater fish there is. Trust me, you will love it.
Good book January 11, 2009
