The Total Fishing Manual (Paperback Edition): 318 Essential Fishing Skills (Field & Stream)

Bought this for our 10-year-old Great Grandson's birthday, who eats, sleeps and lives to fish. He thought it was great and has lots of info to further help him!

This book is chock full of very specific info on many types of fishing. The vast majority of fishermen will find info in this book to learn. Book is really colorful, every page is full of great illustrations and photos. Have already bought two as gifts, might still find more people to give to.

This is an excellent guide to fishing for everyone. Includes dozens of photographs and illustrations as well as strategies for catching more fish. Covers both freshwater and saltwater. Comes with glossary and index.

This book is just beautiful. I've purchased many books and most aren't in color and don't have nice thick pages or have illistrations on every page that keeps you entertained while reading like this book does. The book itself in terms of material just screams quality I would have loved to see a review specifying that fact I am quite surprised they did not charge more for this book but then again I might not have purchased it if they had. It has all the information I have always wondered about. If your like me and have ever been walking in a store in the sporting goods section and were thinking wow tons of lures I wonder how you would even use them or when to use them or how they would be effective or what works best trust me this book explains it all from building your own lures to store bought lures to various techniques. I have only glanced it over not read it through yet but I do believe they are missing a section for net fishing. Over all excellent because it teaches the novice alot.

This book has a lot of good information on fishing and everything that goes into going fishing.

I purchased this book for a Christmas present for my Brother-In-Law who enjoys Bass fishing. Well, really, fishing in general. As an avid fly fisherman myself, I read other reviews, and the product description and decided to purchase this for him. When it was delivered I spent a few moments combing through it to make sure I didn't just waste a money on something he'll never read. It was one of his favorite gifts, and he spent the entire time reading it Christmas day! Now I need to buy myself one :)You can google all of the free information you want (trust me we have), but it's never going to be put together in such a perfect way as this book puts it together. The pictures are stunning, and the information contained is worth a read to any fisherman - even the pros! It sits nicely on a coffee table, and the book layout makes it so you don't feel obligated to read it cover to cover - although you'll find yourself doing just that because of just how great the book reads. You don't need to be a fisherman to find this book interesting to read, and it may just be the thing to get people you know interested in fishing.Both of us are now on pins and needles to wait for this upstate NY weather to warm up so we can put some of these skills we learned from this book out on the stream and catch some beauties!If you're reading this review, you're hesitating too much on purchasing it. Buy the book. Buy two - one for you and your fishing buddy. You won't regret it.

My 9 year loves this book and all the pictures. He already taught himself one of the knots in the book. Highly recommend for anyone interested in fishing with lota of pictures and easy to read.

I've been away from fishing for several years and thought this book would broaden my knowledge of different types of fish and fishing techniques. Although it is generally separated into "fish" categories I was surprised that it didn't have a section on the identification and characteristics of fish. For example, there is no table that would tell me the differences in coloration, size, jaw/face/fins characteristics and so much more. How do I tell the difference between a large-mouth or small-mouth bass or a walleye and a sauger, or even where they are prevalent or what the current record is. Overall very disappointing.

Purchased for our grandson. A little expensive like everything else. Lots of good information in it.

Muy bien explicado, para quienes comienzan el arte de la pesca

Very pleased just as described

Highly recommend this book to ANYONE who fishes, or wants to fish. I thought I knew it all about fishing, until I read this book. So many great hacks, and wonderful advice. Easy to read, colourful, and thorough. Money well spent!
