If every freshwater angler could have just one book on fishing, this would be the one! Stunning illustrations of more than 170 species are included. More than just a guide to fish identification, inside you'll find information on where the fish live, their size range, their fighting ability and table quality. Plus you'll get tips on tackle, bait, and the techniques you'll need to hook up.
I thought that this was a very fascinating piece of non fiction. Out of all of the fishing guides/books I would definitely choose this one. It provides a variety of different species and lures. Educationally wise it is awesome but you have to be into the subject to be able to read it. If I did not enjoy fishing I would definitely find this book unbearably boring and pointless. Overall I thought it was a good book!
