Your favourite Fishing book?

[coolspiderdude]

For my birthday last year, my wife bought me "Fumbling with a Fly Rod" by Ian Colin James. It's a great read, lots of funny stories that you can relate with and some good tips on fishing. It's likely the best fishing book I have read, the Gilly would be up there.

What's yours?

My favorite one is " Bass'n For Dummies " But it hasn't helped me much!!!

If ya like largemouth bass fishing, you have to own a copy of Sowbelly by Monte Burke.

"Fishing With My Old Guy" by Paul Quarrington...a really well written & funny story of the search for a world record speckled trout in northern Quebec.

[Paddler]

1. "Largemouth Bass" from the Hunting & Fishing Library

2. "Bass-A Handbook of Strategies" from the In Fisherman

The Paul Quarrington book was good, I agree.
Also check out Ron Corbett's "The Last Guide".

I read that last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It`s a great look at life in Algonquin Park and The Ottawa Valley during the 1940's and 50's.
