Fishing
books range in quality from those with pretty pictures but little
useable information to invaluable guides to catching a specific
kind of fish. Decide if you want a general guide to many fish or
information about your favorite fish.General Fishing Books
General
fishing books cover a wide variety of fish species and often cover a lot
of territory. These general books will give you good basic info
but usually not as much detailed information as species specific
books. They are excellent for beginners as well as fishermen
wanting a broad information base.

Bass Fishing Books
Bass are probably the most popular species to write books about.
Bass fishermen generate a lot of spending so books are available
for them, too. Choose books
that give specific information about patterns and methods to catch them.
Books that are too general may be interesting to read but will
not help you learn to catch bass.

Trout Fishing Books
Trout fishing has a long and detailed history and it is
seen almost as a mystic sport. From
books that give detailed information on catching trout to books about life that
include a lot on fishing for trout, you can find most any kind of trout fishing
book you want. Look for specific
how-to information for the most help.
Fishing Humor
Fishing humor is often found in all kinds of fishing
books, but few are all humor. Although
much of fishing is funny and we all have humorous stories to tell, a book full
of those kinds of stories is not easy to find.
Look for books that are fairly short and dedicate themselves to the funny
side of fishing.

Fishing Record Books
Fishing record books can either be lists of records or
books about catching a record fish. For
records look for a list that includes each fish species and also includes
overall records as well as line class records.
Many states also publish record books or lists specific to that state.
If you have a favorite fish, look for a book about the world record for
it.
