Synopsis

Fishing is not a hobby, a sport, a science, or a skill; it is not even an art, it is a mystery, and one that takes a lifetime to unravel. The Fishing Handbook: An Illustrated Guide for Anglers is the perfect traveling companion for that journey, wide-eyed enough to love talking about every aspect of fish and fishing, and wise enough to know that, in the end, all anglers are happy fools. Bound in a faux leather textured cover with gold foil stamping, this is the ideal book to keep on hand whether you are an angler at heart or have an interest in learning more about the hobby. Accompanied by full-color illustrations.

About this title

About the Author

Rob Beattie has been fishing for forty years. His first rod was a bamboo pole with curtain rings for eyes that matched an old Bakelite center pin reel, he lives in the United Kingdom.

Review

The Fishing Handbook is a smallish, nicely bound edition that has more than enough for the novice and still enough for the veteran angler to absorb. ... Rob Beattie starts with the basics, rods, reels, tackle, then takes readers out to a favorite fishing hole. He spends time instructing in the art of playing and landing a fish, making your own lures, fly tying, even photography. Down to the last page, this book is well worth the suggested $16.95. --The Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
