Average Rating:
Rating: - Get into the fish's head!
This book was an excellent insight into how fish think. It was fairly introductory, and there was probably a lot that a seasoned fisherman would already know, but I found it enjoyable. It seemed to have a lot of info about protecting the sport, and had somewhat of an "us versus them" feel when talking about people who were against fishing. A fun, quick read for anybody who wants to know a little bit more about fish and their habits, some strategies for catching them, or if you just want to get away into your own head when the weather isn't cooperating for you to get out on the water.
Rating: - Great book
I have been fishing all my life and was to surprised to actually find a few helpful hints in this book. The personal stories are entertaining and I could relate to some, especially early childhood memories of fishing with my dad.
Rating: - Essential Stuff to Get You Going
Before I bought this book, I've been fishing about 8-10 times. I really don't care for fishing because I'm so bad at it.

Rating: - More book than guide...
Great stories to read but as a guide for real fishing information that translates to more fish..... Not really....
Rating: - Great Gift for anyone who likes fishing
I got this as a birthday present for my mother, who is an art teacher. She likes to go fishing, but is obviously a novice. This book was supposed to teach you everything you need to know about fishing, and after talking to her about it, it certainly does! The best thing about this book is that it is easy to read, and enjoyable. Unlike a manual or guide, this book is fun to read. The author connects to the reader through stories and jokes, while at the same time providing vital information that only a fishing guru can provide. My mother read this book very quickly and easily, and is actually ... Read More
