Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-Excellent full-color photographs, especially the how-to and underwater shots, would be enough reason to add this book to any collection. The text provides a complete description of the sport covering history, fish anatomy, gear and tackle, casting, lures and bait, fly-fishing, bobber fishing, landing your catch, and more. Most of the information refers to common types of fish such as pike, bluegill, and trout but some unusual breeds such as taimen and mahseer are mentioned. The discussions on the how and why of releasing your catch and considerate fishing are of particular interest. Similar in content and level to Tony Whieldon's Fishing (Random, 1994) and Richard Smithsen's Freshwater Fishing (Troll, 1990; o.p.), this title will make a fine addition where this pastime is popular.

For enthusiasts of all ages!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Fishing Enthusiast (Hardcover)
The Young Fishing Enthusiast is an excellent teaching aid to novice fishermen of any age. Using lots and lots of excellent photographs to grab the reader's interest, this book covers all aspects of fishing--from history of fish, gear to use, knot tying, fly fishing vs. lure fishing, and bait lore. It has a decided earth-friendly slant to it with sections on catch-and-release fishing and "considerate fishing" (sharing the lakes and rivers with other enthusiasts and wildlife.) A wonderful overview for anyone just getting their feet wet, so to speak.
