Just like his other book what a waste of money. Purchasing higher number of books does not equal more information. So far both the books I read from Gene are very similar.

This book is packed with useful information. It is fully illustrated and very easy to read. While reading this book, I frequently found myself thinking "hmm... that's interesting". My personal library contains many books about fishing, but this one is heads and shoulders above the rest. A true "must have" for any beginner, and an entertaining supplement for the experienced angler.

Great little book. Its both a excellent introduction to freshwater fishing as a whole, and an indispensable pocket reference. Very approachable, well illustrated and no filler. No 'secret' fishing techniques, just whats been productive year after year.

This is excellent book... especially for quick reference w.r.t different sport fish,.. verry well edited . I highly recommend this book. I bought 3 other books on fishing,...but i must say this one is the best... though it lacks the colorful pictures other expensive books have,.. it can be an awesome on-site reference book,...
especially for the price, i would say, go for it,....

I read this book looking to learn how to fish again. It has a great deal of valuable information that will teach you to catch fish. It's superb and a great complement to the Art of Freshwater Fishing.
