Description:
An indispensable manual for the amateur angler, this book is a treasure trove of information
on all things fishing. From fish identification and the plethora of different knots used for
affixing the hook – some of which are covered in a separate title –
to fishing techniques and different types of bait, this little book contains everything you
ever wanted to know about angling.
A sagely tidbit of advice reminds the reader that "it is wise to learn to swim before you
fish in any waters."
