Customer Reviews

Title should be "The Compleat Tennessee Lake Angler"

The author covers all the major lakes of Tennessee and highlights the most popular species of each lake. They tell you exactly how to catch these species and do a fine job of it! Many species are not covered and river fishing is not covered, therefore it is not really "Compleat" (sic). For a book to cover all of that information it would have to be 2 or 3 times as big. This book does a good job of covering what it does cover (lakes and premier species) and I think I got my money's worth.

The newest and best secret weapon for catching TN. fish!

Vernon and Doug are well-known fishing gurus, and those of us who follow them on TV, radio and in print benefit from their vast knowledge of Tennessee fish and their wily ways. These guys know their stuff! Read it, take the day off, and bring an extra stringer!
