The Angler's Guide to Freshwater Fish of North America

If you want to improve your catches (and who doesn't?) you'll find "The Angler's Guide to Freshwater Fish of North America" an invaluable resource. Providing a look into the biology and behavior of more than sixty species of freshwater game fish--including small- and large-mouth bass, sunfish, crappies, trout, salmon, catfish, walleye, northern pike, muskie, sturgeon, and more--this book provides a solid background for anglers throughout North America.

Eric L. Sorenson details each species' popularity and accessibility, range, habitat, physical traits, senses, diet, spawning, and average and record catches for a complete look at the biology of these popular fish. Because the natural history of fish is tied so closely to their future, Sorenson also emphasizes the importance of the angler's role in maintaining and preserving North America's freshwater game fish populations.

Complementing the easy-to-read text are spectacular photographs of these amazing fish. Plus, range maps are included to help you plan your next fishing excursion. So go ahead, put up a "Gone fishin'" sign and dive right in!
