I really enjoyed that scout's fishing book. It was just awesome. The book gave a wide variety of information on how to catch fish effectively whether it's the line you are using or its the bait. So I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 because it really explained how to fish rivers, ponds, and lakes. It also showed where to fish which I really liked about the book.My favorite quote was when the author quoted ¨ sometimes they just don't bite¨. I liked this quote because it's so true because I fish a lot and sometimes you just get skunked which sucks but it's true. Also another reason why I like that quote is because no matter how hard you try they won't bite and it's not your fault.The book described a 1st person view on how to select the right bait for the right time and water. Also the book described what bait is right for a specific fish and what rod to be using for different fish which I really enjoyed because now I know which rod to use for specific fish. The book also describes what kind of body of water for the right bait which is helpful and it describes how to fish the different types of lours.
