This book is by far the best book I have ever read on fishing. I have used the information in this book to figure out fish behavior and increase the number of fish I catch.

This review is from: Through the Fish's Eye: An Angler's Guide to Gamefish Behavior (An Outdoor Life Book) (Hardcover)

This book was recommended to me by "The Fish Whisperer"; the best fisherman I have ever known. It is not a book I would chose for pleasure reading. However if I want to know how any freshwater species will react to a given condition this book will tell you. For the serious fisherman looking for a good understanding of how a fish reacts this is the book he/she needs.

This review is from: Through the Fish's Eye: An Angler's Guide to Gamefish Behavior (Hardcover)

This book does a great job of breaking down fish behavior, and relating it to their biology. Why do certain lures appeal to certain types of fish? How does the physical make-up of a type of fish affect its hunting strategy? Do fish learn to avoid lures and hooks?
While this book tends to focus a little more on the behavior of bass vs. other species, it surveys most everything, and most behavior can then be related to fish of similar biologies. While it may not be a book that says 'fish here with this lure at this time', it is a book that will give the reader a better understanding of why the fish is doing what its doing. Much more valuable in the long run, in my opinion. Definitely worth a read, especially over a long, cold winter, when time on the lake seems very far away.
