Complete Idiots Guide to Fishing Basics

As a Senior who hasn't been fishing since I was a kid I found this book a great place to start, easy and understandable. Thank you.

Very informative

I bought this book as a gift for my boyfriend. He liked it so much, we've gotten them for several other people,all of whom loved it. Very easy to understand; I have never fished, and I could imagine easily doing it after reading this book.

Best beginner fishing book out there

I love this book - easy to read, great for the beginner but also has advice for more experienced fishermen that really work. I give this as a gift for Father's Day and birthdays and it's always a hit.

A Great Book For Beginners

As the title implies, this book contains a wealth of knowledge for the beginning angler. Topics include: choosing and purchasing the appropriate equipment, finding a good fishing spot, understanding how fish think and act, bait and lures, casting methods, and fish identification and preparation. Fishing can be overwhelming to the uninitiated, especially when it comes to the amazing array of rods, reels, and tackle available. This book should answer most, if not all, of your questions about fishing.
