This review is from: Field & Stream The Complete Fisherman (Paperback)

For a fishing book of over 450 pages, there did not seem to be a lot of useful information. I didn't feel that the editors did a good job or made a quality product. I wouldn't say that this book is worth anyone's time or money.
