Freshwater Fishing (The Great Outdoors Series)

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Jamie Hain

Starting with the history of fishing, this book overviews everything a beginning fisherman needs to know about the sport, including government regulations, conservation efforts, and safety concerns. The equipment section covers not only the names and descriptions of different rods, reels, and lures, but also how to most effectively use each piece of equipment. An overview of North American fish species helps readers identify what fish they have caught as well as figure out the most likely spots to catch a certain type of fish. Like all books in "The Great Outdoors" series, this book includes an easy-to-make recipe, a glossary full of fishing-related terms, and a list of outside sources for those interested in learning more about the sport. This book would be a great addition to libraries with an outdoor sports section. It is also a good resource for classrooms focusing on outdoor education and for camps offering this type of waterfront activity. Reviewer: Jamie Hain
