Fly Fishing
Fishing: Tips and Techniques: Love the introduction to the fishing series and it makes fishing seem doable and fun… but once you conclude the first 5 chapters you realize that although this is a hobby for many, it can be difficult. This hobby is timeless!!!, it can also be life-long, fun for the entire family and a great outdoor activity. This is a splendid series and it is chocked full of on-level, useful user-friendly bits of information with bright, clear, colorful pictures of actual up-dated techniques and tack ; additionally, there are photos of women, kids and ‘non’ traditional fishing novice and professionals. This book in the series at the conclusion of chapter 6 helps with the discussion of the ethical issue of fishing; a discussion can be had about law enforcement, echo-systems, and what can be done to help with the ‘future generation’ of fishing. Even environmental issues can be drawn into the fishing conversations. I would suggest all school have this series on hand in their libraries, it was fantastic… hook, line and sinker!!! OH yea, there is even a bibliography page for individuals who wish to authenticate this information and because of the page it is valued at a researchable reference text.
