The author *loves* fishing. The book is as much a love song as a textbook, and I enjoyed it all the more for that.

I haven't had this much fun reading *anything* in quite a while.

To get me started, I bought two fishing books: this one and another rather thick book.
What I like about this book is that it gives you the most important info you need to make you a decent fisherman. For now, I don't want a book ... Read More
