Hard Copy Fishing BOOKS of value
Hey,

I thought it might be value to start a thread that concerns itself with books that are of exceptional value to the angler.

Sure…….. There’s lots of websites with some information, but there is a MUCH larger wealth of excellent information in hard copy from the past (prior to the net).

Here’s one that I recommend heartily :

“How to Find Fish – and Make Them Strike”, by Joseph D. Bates Jr., it was published in 1974 by Outdoor Life as part of a series they offered to their subscribers.

Libraries may have a copy. But I do see that Abe Books has many available for as low as a buck plus postage.

I was a subscriber and got my hard copy version when it first came out.

It helped me learn not just how-to, but also the why’s - so that I could understand my success or failure - and learn from my experiences to become a more effective angler.

Yes – it is from 1974 – but really really……… the basics of angling are just the same now, and will be 1000 years from now.

It is also a fantastic reference – having tables on preferred temp ranges, spawning periods, and tips for fishing in small creeks….. to rivers…….. to large lakes…….

And more.

I checked Google books – no freebie there yet………

***

So………………Any of you girls or guys got a fishin’ book worth a read?


Cheers,

OldTimer

Good Book! The article and study on pike cannibalism is interesting.
