He told me I made a great choice. My husband told me it's a great book, very infomative yet humorus. I odered this book as a Christmas Gift for my husband. Never heard of it, but bought it based on the reviews already written.
I haven't had this much fun reading *anything* in quite a while. Great insights, side-splitting passages (like the description of the avid angler's "Heightened Awareness" at the tackle shop), and solid information. The author *loves* fishing. The book is as much a love song as a textbook, and I enjoyed it all the more for that.
Get a different book to tell you what all the different lure types are, how to tie knots, and what equipment to buy, then read this book to find out how to go about using all that stuff and maybe even why you'd want to. I liked this book, it was a good read. It was fairly short (for a book) and to the point.
A fun, quick read for anybody who wants to know a little bit more about fish and their habits, some strategies for catching them, or if you just want to get away into your own head when the weather isn't cooperating for you to get out on the water. It seemed to have a lot of info about protecting the sport, and had somewhat of an "us versus them" feel when talking about people who were against fishing. This book was an excellent insight into how fish think. It was fairly introductory, and there was probably a lot that a seasoned fisherman would already know, but I found it enjoyable.
The personal stories are entertaining and I could relate to some, especially early childhood memories of fishing with my dad. I have been fishing all my life and was to surprised to actually find a few helpful hints in this book.
