Despite the fact that there is some misinformation in the book (it may have been corrected in subsequent editions), I loved this book. It was readable without being condescending. It transmitted enthusiasm for the sport of fishing and made me see what types of fishing I would and would not want to engage in. It made me want to get out there and DO IT. And I did!

If you are a gentleman looking for a good fishing book for a woman, I highly recommend this as a great gift.

The Woman Angler is a must for any woman wanting to get into fishing or hone her skills. When I first bought this book, I knew that the purpose of fishing was to catch a fish on a hook using this thing called a rod. By the time I finished reading the book, I knew the basics behind spinning, bait casting, and fly fishing and had learned many tidbits that even long time fishermen friends didnt know. The Woman Angler is full of factual information as well as personal experiences that will pique the interest of any woman interested in fishing. Not only does this wonderful book encourage women to try fishing as a sport or hobby, it helps to make fishing a sport for women.

I just got the book with the intention of using it as the text for a women's fishing program. I think it is a good first try but was disappointed in the knot section where a clinch knot is supposed to be shown, but in fact is a palomar knot. I can just see a someone trying to put a double section of tippet through a #22 fly! See pages 45-48. I would have also shown the improved clinch knot. The book was a nice read. I expected better from a writer of Ms. Morrow's background.
