IGFA's 101 Freshwater Fishing Tips & Tricks [Paperback]

Bill Dance (Author), Rod Walinchus (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2007

One of America’s best known fishermen with more than 50 years of on-water experience, Bill Dance is also a tournament champion and a television personality. His tips will help any angler catch more and bigger fish. Even experienced fishermen may not know that dark-colored lures work best during low light conditions; that reluctant bass often bite at smaller lures fished slowly; that 75% of all line failures occur at the knot, so good knot tying is essential to success; that when waters rise, bass move shallower—when it falls, they move deeper. Dance’s knowledge is so wide-ranging that absolute beginners and crusty old veteran fishermen alike will be educated and entertained and amazed. This book is being supported by The International Game Fish Association (IGFA), a leading authority on angling and the keeper of fishing’s world record.

This is not a book for experienced anglers. Good for those who are starting. For the price, and knowing it's for begginers, it is great book with 5 stars.

If anyone is qualified to offer over 100 tips on freshwater fishing, it's Bill Dance. Short and sweet, each tip is interesting, informative, and full of little nuggets of advice that will make you itch to get out there and try them for yourself. The illustrations are helpful, too.
